Details

After tales from the USA and Britain, Bill Bryson turns his roving eye to Australia, the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country. It is the driest, flattest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents. It has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else. Yet when Bill Bryson travelled to Australia he promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, the cities safe and clean, the food is excellent, the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. He tries to find out why Aussies are so cool, digging up a past that reveals convicts, explorers, gold diggers and outlaws. Following the hugely successful sell-out tours of Bill Bryson's The Lost Continent and Notes From A Small Island, actor Steve Steen and writer/director Paul Hudson are teaming up again to embark on a National UK tour with the brand new adaptation of Bill Bryson's hilarious and number one best seller, Down Under.
