The Secret Garden

Lancaster Footlights presents “The Secret Garden”, an adaptation by Neil Duffield of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a story about a young, disagreeable girl, Mary, who was brought up in India under the Raj and is moved back to England to escape a cholera epidemic.  She joins her uncle and cousin in their large Yorkshire mansion and discovers an unkempt secret garden in the grounds of the mansion full of birds and animals which appears to have “magical” powers to transform the lives of Mary and her family into a new life of happiness and growth.
