When orphaned Mary Lennox comes to live at her uncle’s great house on the Yorkshire Moors, she finds it full of secrets. Left to make her own entertainment, Mary stumbles upon a garden, overgrown and locked for years. A forbidden garden.
Finding her way inside, with the help of a friendly robin, Mary develops a connection to the house and its inhabitants. Then, one night, in one of the house’s many rooms, she hears the sound of crying…
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s delightful and enduring tale celebrates the power of transformation and healing through nature. Elizabeth Newman’s magical adaptation was premiered at Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s open-air amphitheatre in 2023, where Newman is Artistic Director.
