Three Men in a Boat (Modern Plays)

By Al Smith

A tool should never blame his workmen.

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.

Al Smith's new adaptation brings Jerome K. Jerome's classic novel to hilarious life.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at the Rose Theatre in September 2026.
