First published in 1889 Jerome K. Jerome's classic tale of boating misadventure has become the quintessential example of the charm and wit of Victorian England. In an attempt to escape the stresses of city life three friends J, Harris and George plus their faithful canine companion Montmorency decide to take a boating jaunt between Kingston and Oxford. However a trip intended to relax and rejuvenate quickly becomes a journey of unquenchable comedy, with death-defying battles with swans, culinary disasters and contrary tea kettles just a few of the challenges facing the trio along the way.
Clive Francis is an actor, writer and illustrator. His highly successful adaptations include The Hound of the Baskervilles, Our Man in Havana, Three Men in a Boat, The Lavender Hill Mob, a one-man version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and an adaptation of Ben Travers’ Thark.
