NOTES FROM A SMALL ISLAND                                   

It's 1973, and a young man from Des Moines, Iowa, has arrived on the ferry at Dover.  He intends to conquer the whole of the island, like Caesar attempted before him.

But Caesar didn't have to deal with counterpanes, kippers, Cadbury's Curly Wurlies or Mrs Smegma and the landlady's eccentric house rules. As Bill travels the length and breadth of Britain, through villages with names like Titsey and Little Dribbling, something strange starts to happen.  Can it be true?  Is he really starting to feel at home?

Tickets £12.00 on general sale from 1st March.
