Three Men in a Boat sets sail again for 2015 tour

Craig Gilbert’s production has been seen in 2012 and 2014

The Original Theatre Company and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds have announced a new tour of Jerome K Jerome's Three Men in a Boat, following productions in 2012 and earlier this year.

Three Men in a Boat tells the story of three friends, J, Harris and George, along with their dog Montmorency, who take a relaxing ride on the river to avoid the stresses of city life. The holiday, however, quickly unravels and descends into chaos.

The production is adapted and directed by Craig Gilbert, with a cast including Anna Westlake, David Patridge and Tom Hackney.

The tour opens at the Cambridge Arts Theatre on 21 of January and ends on 26 March at the Venue Cymru, Llandudno (full dates below).

Set design is by Victoria Spearing, lighting by Alan Valentine, sound by Giles Thomas, movement by Matt Bugg and musical direction by Tim Van Eyken.
