But I Know This City! A city-wide reading of B.S. Johnson’s ‘The Unfortunates’ In 1969 B.S. Johnson’s ‘The Unfortunates’ was published as a ‘book in a box’ with each of its 27 chapters being loose and, other than ‘First’ and ‘Last’, available to be read in any order. It is set in a city that though never named, is clearly identified through its detailed description of landmarks, streets, restaurants and pubs. The city is Nottingham. ‘But I Know This City!’ is a highly ambitious and unique community performance of this important novel by Nottingham-based theatre company Excavate. On Saturday 21st November, 54 Bryan Johnsons will take their place in 27 different locations: bars, bookshops, bus stops and a host of the finest nooks and crannies that Nottingham has to offer. Each audience member will be given a map to help them traverse their way across the city to discover these Bryans, and to navigate their way through this wonderful novel in any way that they wish. Starting point: Broadway Media Centre.
