In the Lady Garden
4 October 2025
Event details
At 69, Alice wonders if she hadn’t been expelled from convent school and had sex with Keith from the sausage rolls section at the pie factory, what might her life have been?
Will Alice shake off the shackles of the patriarchy and live out the rest of her days with outrageous abandon?
Find out in this rip-roaring and moving comedy created by The Lady Gardeners: writer Babs Horton, director Deborah Edgington and actor, Julia Faulkner.
‘In the Lady Garden’ raises topics rarely discussed in theatre including what it was like growing up as a girl in the 50s and 60s, the menopause and the invisibility of older women and is a reminder that they still have empowering stories worth telling.
