FOLLOWING on from a hugely successful tour in 2012, Craig Gilbert’s adaptation of Three Men in a Boat will be returning to Basingstoke at the end of the month.

Original Theatre Company and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds will be presenting Jerome K Jerome’s classic tale of boating misadventure at The Haymarket on Friday, 31 October and Saturday 1, November.

And readers have the chance to win two pairs of tickets to the performance on Friday, 31 October at 7.30pm.

Originally intended as a guide to boating on the Thames, Jerome’s ripping yarn of youthful friendship, mischief and folly celebrates the very essence of Britishness inspiring many of our comic legends from Morecambe and Wise to Monty Python.

Equipped with a working pub, live piano, some ale, music hall singing, a dog and a feast of physical comedy, settle yourself in for a night out to remember.

Tickets for Three Men in a Boat are priced at £18; over 65s, under 16s and students pay £11.
