Show Details
It’s 1804, that rascal Napoleon rules the waves, and the British Navy’s favourite tactical island has gone adrift. Can its hapless crew survive an increasingly preposterous Odyssey? Can they endure sirens, sea monsters, and the Welsh? With a shanty in their hearts and nary a thought in their heads, The Rock That Boated is sailing to – well, somewhere! It’s a very nearly true story, after all.

Dangerous Dames have done it again! Their best after a long line of greats, from the sharp comedy to the outstanding shanties, daring duels and scandalous romance – don’t let this ship(ish) sail without you.
The Dangerous Dames are such a great group and I always look forward to seeing what they put out. I have been lucky enough to see their shows the last few years and this one has been particularly delightful!
The Dames have done it again! Another fun show that’s just the right mix of witty-funny and stupid-funny. As fans of Boat Media, it was easy to see that the writer knew enough to draw on a variety of different references. And some suburb performances to bring it together.
If you’re going to fringe, the Dangerous Dames are always a must-see. The venue is small, so get your tickets in advance and show up early to get a good seat!
A truly original show. Well acted, great pace and a clever script. Full of surprises and humor.
Fringe, can you consider a different configuration for the audience. Alley way? A semi circle of just two rows? Anything to facilitate viewing.
A really fun, zippy and zany nautical comedy! Great pacing, fun cast and well-rounded characters, and a healthy dash of sea shanty-ing to boot (boat?).
The Dangerous Dames are a surefire good time at Fringe, and The Rock that Boated builds on that track record. A good story, clever staging, sea shanties, some well-timed silliness, and a cast that looks like they’re having a whale of a time. It’s a small venue and has sold out a couple of times already, so grab tickets early!
Another fun comedy, Dangerous Dames! Loved that everyone got their playful moments, the plot escalation, and the signs. Can’t say any more without spoilers
