Gilbert, having arrived in England from Jamaica, meets the kind Mrs. Queenie Bligh, who gives him a first taste of kindness in this new country.
‘Andrea Levy’s Windrush epic makes momentous theatre.’ ★★★★★ The Guardian
Small Island, adapted by Helen Edmundson, traces the interwoven and troubled histories between Jamaica and the UK, from WWII through to 1948. The characters of its three, interconnected stories all long for a better life.
