The Secret Garden
The much-loved classic, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is reimagined in this bold new adaptation written by Linda Marshall Griffiths and directed by Amy Leach.
Set in urban Leeds, the story follows Maya, a young person whose experience as a refugee shapes her journey through the chaos and possibility of a new city. High above the concrete and noise, Maya encounters three young people – each navigating their own way through the city – together they discover something extraordinary: a forgotten secret garden blossoming on the top of a high-rise.
Raw, contemporary and full of laughter; this is a joyful story of resilience and friendship, where the transformative powers of a magical garden holds the future for all of them.
All performances of The Secret Garden will feature integrated creative captioning. Creative audio description will be available for all performances from 29 Apr onwards.
A Leeds Playhouse and Theatr Clwyd production.
Part of the LCIP 2026 Programme
