Thursday, June 6, 2024

"We're delighted to be welcoming back the same cast and creative team for the sequel to last summer's hit show. I know our audience is going to love following these characters on their hilarious new journey.” - Helen Juvonen, Co-Artistic Director of Guild Festival Theatre
The Play:
Jay, George & Harris embark on an ill-fated cycling holiday through Germany in this comic misadventure filled with witty banter, clever observations, and ridiculous mishaps. This laugh-out-loud comedy captures the spirit of the open road as our trio find themselves in one hilarious predicament after another, testing their patience, wit, and friendship.
Featuring the same cast and creative team that brought 2023's hit Three Men in a Boat to uproarious life, Three Men on a Bike offers a theatrical vision of Jerome K. Jerome’s Victorian satire that proves that sometimes the best way to navigate life is to embrace its absurdity.
GFT is pleased to welcome back cast members Jack Copland (Dora nominee for Three Ordinary Men), Azeem Nathoo (Stratford Festival), and Suchiththa Wickremesooriya (Talk is Free Theatre) as well as director Sue Miner (Dora winner for Alice in Wonderland at Soulpepper), Mark Brownell (Dora winner and Governor General's Award nominee), production designer Ina Kerklaan (Mirvish, Soulpepper), and arranger/sound designer J. Rigzin Tute (Shaw Festival).
