Notes From a Small Island

Notes From a Small Island $14.99

Tim Whitnall from Bill Bryson

Published by Nick Hern Books

Large Mixed Cast

It's 1973, and a young man from Des Moines, Iowa, has arrived on the ferry at Dover

He intends to conquer the whole of the island, like Caesar attempted before him

But Caesar didn't have to deal with counterpanes, kippers, Cadbury's Curly Wurlies, or Mrs Smegma the landlady's eccentric house rules

As Bill travels the length and breadth of Britain, through villages with names like Titsey and Little Dribbling, something strange starts to happen

Can it be true? Is he really starting to feel at home?

Bill Bryson's smash-hit memoir Notes from a Small Island spent three years in The Sunday Times bestseller list, sold over two million copies, and was voted the book which best represents the UK

Tim Whitnall's hilarious stage adaptation was first produced at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2023

Written for an ensemble cast of seven (but suitable for a cast of dozens), it will appeal to amateur drama groups as a glorious celebration of one of the nation's most beloved books, and a brilliant dissection of the enduring quirks of our small island
