‘Three Hens in a Boat ‘ at The Watermill Theatre, Newbury

Lovingly Inspired by the literary classic Three Men in a Boat, Camille Ucan’s debut play, Three Hens in a Boat is a bold, laugh-out-loud comedy which charts the twist and turns of intergenerational family dynamics on a hen do with a difference. Navigating the River Thames from Kingston to Henley and almost all the way down the aisle, Claudette, Gloria and Jay’s well-intentioned family outing soon devolves into a series of hilarious misadventures. 

This fresh, female-led adaptation takes the text and flips it on its head, promising a riotous yet deeply touching exploration of family relationships and the importance of speaking your truth.  

Three Hens in a Boat captures the essence of what bonds a family together – humour, forgiveness and unconditional love. The play is a joint Reading Rep and Watermill production which plays at The Watermill from May 22 to June 7.
