SYNOPSIS: Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved classic is brought to the stage faithfully and in a theatrical manner. The orphaned Mary Lennox is sent to live at her Uncle Archibald's Yorkshire estate where she grows from a sour and bitter girl to a caring and selfless young woman by discovering and, with the help of others, bringing back to life an abandoned secret garden. The tale is told years later by the aged Dickon, who lives with nature and recounts how he met and helped Mary bring life to the garden. As in the young adult novel, the dramatization is filled with colorful characters and incidents that are humorous as well as heart-warming.
