'Notes from a Small Island'
BOOK HERE

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 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? Bill Bryson's smash-hit memoir Notes from a Small Island spent three years in The Sunday Times bestseller list, sold over two million copies, and was voted the book which best represents the UK.Tim Whitnall's hilarious stage adaptation was first produced at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2023. Written for an ensemble cast of seven (but suitable for a larger cast), is a glorious celebration of one of the nation's most beloved books, and a brilliant dissection of the enduring quirks of our small island.

To Our Theatre

About us

Digswell Players are a successful local amateur  drama group based in Digswell, Hertfordshire UK (near Welwyn Garden City). We are a member of the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) www.noda.org.uk.

 

We have been putting shows on since 1954

What we do

At Digswell Players, we produce our annual January Pantomime, a play in May. Our youth theatre, Expressions, stage a musical in June. Meetings and rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings and on Sunday afternoons for the pantomime and the Youth group. We also rehearse on some Tuesday evenings.

 

In addition to acting there are many roles and 'parts' to be played as members of Digswell Players.

We have a full technical set up of modern lighting and sound equipment and this, along with design and building of scenery requires us to have a dedicated crew to mange and run these sections. We are always welcoming people to join this side of the society.
