BOX OFFICE 017687 74411. “The last three days have felt like three years. Three years stuck indoors doing crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. I can’t even answer the front door.” Tom is sent away to stay with his aunt and uncle to quarantine in a mysterious old house. Bored, lonely and itching to go outside and play, Tom counts down the days until he can go home. Then, one night he hears the grandfather clock strike 13. Guided by the ghostly voices of the house, he sneaks downstairs and opens the back door to discover a magical garden. There he meets Hatty, and the two become firm friends and co-adventurers as they explore the wonders of this amazing place. But not all is as it seems in the garden, and just as Tom starts to uncover its secrets, he discovers that he is rapidly running out of time. With puppetry, music and playful theatricality, travel in time with us this Christmas as we bring this much-loved children’s classic to life. Most shows will be sold to full capacity although there are some socially distanced dates too as well as a digital version if it’s just too soon for you to come back to us in person.
