Notes from a Small Island
From 11th November to 16th November 2024
Director : Ali Broughton and Ann Leake
What do counterpanes, Curly Wurlies and kippers have in common? They are all
part of the patchwork of British history that Bill Bryson, a young ex-pat from Des
Moines, Iowa had to contend with in 1973. Bill Bryson's smash-hit memoir spent
three years on The Sunday Times bestseller list, sold over two million copies, and
was voted the book that best represents the UK.
Tim Whitnall's hilarious stage adaptation weaves around Bill's character as he takes
the audience on a charmingly affectionate tour of Britain, from its picturesque
villages to its quirky landmarks. Along the way, he encounters colourful characters,
unravels the mysteries of British culture and delivers a witty, unforgettable
exploration of this small island.
