Andrea Levy’s epic novel, Small Island, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson, has received wonderful reviews in the brand-new production, directed by Matthew Xia.
The Leeds Playhouse, Birmingham Rep and Nottingham Playhouse co-production, in association with Actors Touring Company, opened in Leeds earlier this month.
The reviews are in:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “a visceral feast… this is a production that every single person in Britain should see, not least because of its outstanding performances, but to confront the entitled history of this small island.” – Voice
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “this is a necessary history play that feels all too contemporary.” – The Guardian
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “sublime” – The Stage
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “totally outstanding” – The Leeds Guide
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “unmissable” – Fairy Powered Productions
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “will live with you vividly” – The Recs
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “sensational” – Theatre Tradge

Small Island runs in Leeds until 28th March, before transferring to Birmingham Rep on 1 – 18April, and Nottingham Playhouse on 28 April – 16th May!
