Blackfriars Theatre presents MEN ON BOATS!

Ten explorers; four boats; one Grand Canyon. Men on Boats is the true(ish) history of an 1869 expedition where a one-armed captain and an insane yet loyal crew set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. Inspired by John Wesley Powell’s actual travel logs, Backhaus’s nimble and ingenious script is provocative, laugh-out-loud theatre, infusing America’s historic myths of male conquest with a sly blast of satire. It’s a total testosterone fest … without a single cis-White male on stage!
“Off-the-canyon-walls funny.” — Variety
“Marvelously destabilizing both as history and theater. The stalwartness and selfishness of the adventurers – their cockiness and cluelessness – become biting satire when sent up by [women and non-binary performers].” — New York Magazine
