Small Island opens tonight at Birmingham Rep

Andrea Levy’s groundbreaking novel, Small Island, adapted for stage by Helen Edmundson, opens at the Birmingham Rep this evening!

The new Leeds Playhouse, Birmingham Rep and Nottingham Playhouse co-production will run in Birmingham until 18th April, following a successful run at Leeds Playhouse in March. It will then transfer to Nottingham Playhouse between 28th April – 16th May.

The play, produced in association with Actors Touring Company and directed by the Olivier Award-winning Matthew Xia, offers a fresh perspective on a world shaped by empire and entitlement as it takes audiences from the shores of Jamaica to the streets of 1940s London.
