It seems to be in vogue this year, I found out there's another one on in York too. I didn't know I was joining such a tradition of successful adaptations!  I also found a 'dramatic reading' by Jim Sperinck done in 1992 and revised in 1995.  This one is for three actors in a storytelling style.

Jes, you requested more details on my show:
Like Bewes', I'm doing minimal set, trying to create everything out of a table, chairs and tablecloths.  That includes the boat, the train journey & the magna carta story complete with horses and (possibly) a swordfight.

The cast is Jonny Liron, Martin Rock and Phillip Whiteman.

Performances are -
Thurs 10 Apr 3pm & 8pm, Fri 11 Apr 8pm, Sat 12 Apr 3pm & 8pm, Sun 13 Apr 8pm
Tickets are £10 all seats and the box office is 01344 484123

End of Ad Break!

Sean, thank you for your encouragement.  Let me know if you are able to come as we could chew the cud after.
'On Stage & Off' - is that an adaptation, or was that a script originally?

All best,
Tom.

Hello Jeromians!

I'm thrilled to have discovered this website and forum and I'd like to let you all know about a new stage adaptation of 'Three Men In A Boat' that I am producing at South Hill Park Arts Centre in Bracknell, this 10-13 April.

I was captivated by the book last summer - I think it has such a wonderful mix of comedy, history and poetry.  Hopefully some of you will be able to come and see the show!

On stage adaptations in general:
I've haven't seen Rodney Bewes' version - how does he tackle it being just one man?
Also, I understand from browsing the forum that Jesthepres has produced a version too.  I'd be interested to hear more about that Jes!

All best,

Tom.
