2. Notes From a Small Island

The Talisman Theatre and Arts Centre is "thrilled to announce" its upcoming production of Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island,' adapted for the stage by Tim Whitnall, featuring an impressive display of multi-roling from a talented cast.

The production will run from Monday 24 June at the Barrow Road-based theatre in Kenilworth.

Based on Bryson's best-selling travel book, 'Notes from a Small Island' takes the audience on a humorous and heartwarming journey across Britain.
