ContactJimmy Younis - lawjy@leeds.ac.uk More InformationSmall 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 un-belonging, disappointment and hope. Four 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. Spanning 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. A Leeds Playhouse, Birmingham Rep and Nottingham Playhouse production, in association with Actors Touring Company. You’ll need to meet at Leeds Playhouse Box office at 18:45pm the latest, as the show will start at 19:00pm. This play is captioned / subtitled for Deaf and Hard of Hearing viewers. | ||||||||||||||||
