Together\, they discover love across culture\, colour and class – and the fragile hope of a shared future. \nSpanning decades and continents\, this brand-new production draws on the joyful rhythms of calypso and the harsh realities of post-war Britain to explore the emotional truth of our collective history\, brought vividly to life through music\, striking visuals and a compelling story you will never forget. \nTickets from £25\nA transaction fee of 3.50 applies on all payment types \n \n  \nGet Tickets URL:https://blackgold.biz/whatson/small-island/2026-04-18/2/ LOCATION:The Birmingham REP\, 6 Centenary Square\, Birmingham\, B1 2EP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Performing Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://blackgold.biz/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Small-Island.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260416T194500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260416T194500 DTSTAMP:20260501T042451 CREATED:20260207T154827Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260218T180213Z UID:10000409-1776368700-1776368700@blackgold.biz SUMMARY:All The Happy Things DESCRIPTION:A dark comedy about the power of sisterhood and grief. \nSienna is trying to deal with her grief by clinging on tightly to what she knows – in short\, she’s seeing her dead sister everywhere she goes. Not only seeing her… but having full on conversations with her.
