Join The Alexandra Players for a warm, witty and wonderfully nostalgic evening of theatre as Bill Bryson’s much-loved travel memoir “Notes from a Small Island” is brought to life on stage in Tim Whitnall’s acclaimed adaptation.
Packed with laugh-out-loud observations, eccentric characters and recognisable moments of British life, this heartwarming production follows Bryson’s unforgettable journey around Britain as he rediscovers the quirks, charm and chaos of the places, people and traditions that make this island so unique.

From seaside towns and railway journeys to motorway cafés, rainy holidays and the nation’s obsession with tea, “Notes from a Small Island” celebrates Britain in all its funny, familiar and gloriously imperfect splendour.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of Bill Bryson’s writing or simply enjoy clever comedy, nostalgia and great storytelling, this production promises an entertaining and uplifting night out.
Audiences can expect:
• A professionally staged amateur theatre production
• A talented local cast bringing Bryson’s observations to life
• Humour, nostalgia and heartfelt moments throughout
• A relaxed and welcoming community theatre atmosphere
• A celebration of British culture, travel and everyday life
This production is ideal for:
• Fans of Bill Bryson’s books
• Lovers of British comedy and observational humour
• Theatre-goers looking for a feel-good evening
• Couples, friends and family groups
• Supporters of local arts and community theatre
