What is The Secret Garden about?
A classic children's novel and now a new stage adaptation, The Secret Garden tells the story of Mary Lennox, a young girl who discovers a hidden, neglected garden on her uncle's estate. Through her efforts to restore the garden, Mary not only transforms the garden but also her own life and the lives of those around her.
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved and radical story about the magic of nature and the nature of magic is the perfect production to see as summer arrives.
