The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

A delightful stage adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's enduring tale of transformation and healing through nature.

'An enriching, affirmative show, steeped in gentle wonder'

* The Stage *

'A near-perfect summer theatre experience for children.. The Secret Garden is fast emerging as a key children's story for our time: a profound legend about how human beings need the natural world and its energy to survive and thrive... Newman's adaptation glows from its opening moments with love for, and understanding of, the basic dynamics of Hodgson Burnett's bold narrative... a beautiful show'

* The Scotsman *

'Enrapturing... a tremendous fervour of pace... simply gorgeous... a thing of beauty'

* Reviews Hub *

'Retains all the essentials of the original novel but brings in the whole thing at around 90 minutes, including an interval. It's appealingly crisp, which is helpful for the younger members of the audience, and it doesn't shun the novel's all-important use of Yorkshire dialect... a play that retains its own distinctive sense of charm'

* WhatsOnStage *

'The perfect show for all the family... delights at every turn... a salve to the soul for grown ups in these troubled times and even better, the children in the audience clearly loved it'

* Broadway Baby *

'A wonderful adaptation with a sense of magic throughout... A very inviting project for any drama or theatre department or company. "Flexible" really is the key word with this adaptation as it is a play that could work with a range of age groups... It could make for a wonderful open air summer production or one where the outdoors could be brought in. A great addition to any collection'
