about production
In a sad and lonely house on the Yorkshire moors, the melancholy routine of a family in mourning is turned upside down with the arrival of young orphan, Mary Lennox. When the curious child discovers the key to the hidden door of a secret, walled garden, a long locked-away magic is released, changing the lives of all, forever.

reviews
Edinburgh Evening News
"Beautifully staged and choreographed, this Tony Award winning tale is visually enchanting"
TV Bomb
"This is a Christmas masterpiece. Look out for tears, triumphs and troubles… From its sensational music and songs to its five star acting and set that transports you expertly. This is both for adults and children in equal measure, however cynical"
The List
"An imaginative set and some truly superb vocals also help turn Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel, published 100 years ago, into a moving and occasionally witty production for modern audiences"
The Scotsman
"a gorgeous, polished, haunting, intelligent and deeply dramatic piece of music theatre, spectacular in scale, beautifully performed, and powerfully directed"
