Rose Theatre presents

A riotous new comedy by Al Smith
Based on the novel by Jerome K. Jerome
Directed by Christopher Haydon
With songs by Grant Olding

Jerome, George and Harris are lifelong pals. Whenever one is in a spot of bother the others will always jump in to help him out. So what could possibly go wrong as they set out on a carefree boat trip up the Thames - from leafy Kingston to Oxford’s dreaming spires?

Nothing at all. Except torrential rain, alarmingly eccentric dogs and a bout of hallucination brought on by some of the most dangerously rancid cheese ever cultivated. This is a rollicking story of three men, one boat and eighteen extremely angry swans.

Directed by Christopher Haydon (Emma), with original songs by Tony Nominee Grant Olding (One Man, Two Guvnors) and physical comedy created by John Nicholson (Tweedy’s Massive Circus), this world premiere brings Jerome K. Jerome’s classic novel to hilarious life. A celebration of abiding friendship and calamitous adventure, this is Jeeves and Wooster meets Apocalypse Now.
