Why is this play significant?
This adaptation of Jerome K Jerome's novel is frequently revived but rarely is credit given to the Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round for commissioning the play. It began life as a new work premiered in the Studio Theatre - as was common of much new work at the time - before being revived around the globe.
Notes
○ Three Men In A Boat was adapted from Jerome K Jerome's novel by Blake Heathcote.
○ Three Men In A Boat was a lunch-time revue performed in the Studio at the Stephen Joseph Theatre In The Round.
