Why have we been press ganged into\u003cbr\u003eservice together? What can they hope to achieve by sending this absurd\u003cbr\u003eduo out to sea? I am an owl. The Cat is a cat...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Pea Green Boat, Stewart Lee and David Waywell create a dark, grotesque\u003cbr\u003ereteling of The Owl and the Pussycat in which Edward Lear's characters are\u003cbr\u003erevealed to be catastrophicaly poorly-equipped for maritime travel. Told through\u003cbr\u003ethe increasingly deranged diary of the Owl, the real story is unmasked – he\u003cbr\u003ecannot open the honey jar due to his lack of opposable thumbs, he is terrified\u003cbr\u003ethe cat wi l eat him in his sleep, and he struggles to play the guitar despite\u003cbr\u003ehaving no fingers. As hunger, exhaustion and poor navigation take their tol, it\u003cbr\u003ebecomes clear that these two creatures should never have been put in a boat\u003cbr\u003etogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the cult 2001 stage piece, Pea Green Boat blends Lee’s fascination\u003cbr\u003ewith Edward Lear with his own comedy. Now, with David's gothic-comic\u003cbr\u003ei lustrations, the story is brought vividly, hilariously and unsettlingly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57984465764734,"sku":"9781529988604","price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/7608\/files\/2_e85a75b7-da91-4644-9977-c5d1367a232c.webp?v=1788786210","url":"https:\/\/www.leftfordeadshop.co.uk\/products\/stewart-lee-david-waywell-pea-green-boat-signed-copy","provider":"Left For Dead","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
