Notes from a Small Island

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.
