SOUTHAMPTON’S Nuffield theatre presents The Original Theatre Company’s production of Three Men In a Boat as part of its visiting company season this week.
Following a sell-out tour in 2012, Three Men In a Boat is touring the UK once again in the 125th anniversary year of the publication of the beloved Jerome K Jerome book.
In an attempt to escape the stresses of city life, three friends – J, Harris and George, accompanied by their faithful canine companion Montmorency – decide to take to the river in order to relax and rejuvenate. The holiday, however, quickly unravels and descends into chaos.
In Craig Gilbert’s stage adaptation, this classic tale of boating misadventure comes complete with a working pub, live piano accompaniment, some ale, music hall singing, a dog and a lot of physical comedy.
Three Men and a Boat is running between September 30 and October 4, with matinees of October 2 and October 4.
