SUMMARY:Small Island
DESCRIPTION:Journey from the sun-drenched shores of Jamaica to the cold\, grey streets of 1940s London in Small Island\, a powerful and intimate portrayal of Andrea Levy’s multi award-winning novel\, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson. Directed by Matthew Xia\, this bold staging offers a fresh perspective on a world shaped by empire and entitlement\, caught between belonging and unbelonging\, disappointment and hope. \nFour unforgettable characters bring this Windrush story to life: Hortense and Gilbert\, determined Jamaican migrants in search of belonging and respect; Queenie\, an Englishwoman who defies convention; and Bernard\, her husband\, struggling with change. 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
