Why see The Secret Garden?
The secret garden blooms again
The enchantment of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's tale comes to Regents Part Open Air theatre in this brand new staging by Holly Robinson and Anna Himali Howard. Enjoy an exciting reimagining of the story of young orphan Mary Lennox and the mysterious and beautiful garden she discovers in her otherwise austere new Yorkshire home.
What is the story?
When Mary's parents die during a cholera outbreak in India in 1906, she is sent back to England to live with her uncle she's never met. Spoiled and fearful of the isolated house on the Yorkshire moors, she finds no comfort in her forbidding relative or the bleak landscape until she stumbles across a secret garden and a locked away cousin. With the help of the kindly servants and local boy Dickon, Mary sets out to uncover the garden's mysteries and in the process, finds the key to lifting the spirits and hopes of those around her.

stunning performances and clever production
A magical play with wonderful performances by a strong cast. Using puppets for the animals was genius and fun, and the robin was clever and witty. The audience is required to use its imagination and enjoy this as an immersive experience, instead of sitting passively; this was joyous and creative. Hannah Khalique-Brown as the brattish Mary lennox was brilliant, including her yorkshire accented exchanges with the maid; and Colin, the equally spolit boy was excellent. Supporting cast were fabulous, funny and engagaing. the vibe , lighting and stage production was superb. You should come here for a special and magical night. Don't expect a flashy central London indoor theatre production, use your immagination, engage with the characters and let yourself laugh and cry. Beautiful. Well done. Fun for all the family and all ages. ... Read more

A beautiful moment
The setting of the play was fabulous. The set was well used and the manner in which the garden developed over the course of the play was super clever.
The lighting supported the acting beautifully. There were strong performances from all of the cast and the standing ovasion was well deserved.
A thoroughly beautiful production. Cleverly written and directed.
We are going back again. ... Read more
