Stewart Lee Pea Green Boat

In Pea Green Boat, Stewart Lee and David Waywell create a darkly hilarious retelling of The Owl and the Pussy-cat in which Edward Lear’s characters are revealed to be catastrophically poorly-equipped for maritime travel.

Told through the increasingly deranged diary of the Owl, the real story is unmasked and it becomes clear that these two creatures should never have been put in a boat together.

David’s gothic-comic illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Stewart’s bleakly funny text, bringing a psychoactive subtext to the nonsensical world of Edward Lear’s poem.
