On July 28, 2024, I went to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the Shaw Festival. I thoroughly enjoyed The Secret Garden at the Royal George Theatre.
Play Description: Mary Lennox is a selfish, spoiled ten-year-old whose life takes a turn for the worse after she is left orphaned in India. Forced to move in with her reclusive uncle in Yorkshire, she is lonely and miserable, until she discovers a secret garden that's been locked away for years.
As she tends to the dormant roses and overgrown vines, she soon finds that the flowers are not the only things that are beginning to bloom
The Secret Garden is adapted from Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved children's novel. This enchanting story explores the theme of finding your true nature where you least expect it.
Personal Commentary: The Secret Garden was a very pleasant experience with valuable lessons learnt from a young girl who had to find the joy in living and loving every minute of it through her time tending to the various flora and fauna in the garden.
