The Secret Garden:
West Yorkshire Playhouse

In an imposing manor house, in the heart of the Yorkshire Moors, there’s a door that once led to a magical garden, a door that’s been locked for many years, the key buried and all but forgotten. When ten-year-old Mary Lennox is suddenly orphaned she must make the journey from sun-baked India to live with her distant uncle in wintry Yorkshire. Spoilt and unhappy, it’s only when Mary meets a local lad, Dickon, and learns of the lost garden that she begins to take an interest in the house, its inhabitants and the stories it holds. With the help of the wild birds and animals Dickon calls his friends; can the two of them find the key to the garden and unlock the secrets growing inside? Following in the footsteps of his acclaimed production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Ian Brown directs a spellbinding brand new musical adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic children’s novel that’s guaranteed to blossom in the imaginations of children young and old.
