Join WiBA members and guests for an theatre visit to watch the amazing story of Small Island by Andrea Levy be brought to life on stage, together with a group of fellow women in business with opportunities before and at the interval for networking.

Small Island takes a journey from the sun-drenched shores of Jamaica to the cold, grey streets of 1940s London in Small Island, providing a powerful and intimate portrayal of Andrea Levy’s multi award-winning novel, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson. Directed by Matthew Xia, the bold staging at the fantastic Birmingham Rep theatre offers a fresh perspective on a world shaped by empire and entitlement, caught between belonging and unbelonging, 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.
