Alan Ayckbourn’s pair of comedies will be performed simultaneously by the same cast between the theatre and covered seating in its beautiful gardens. With hilarious consequences, one character’s entrance to House in the theatre is another’s exit outside from Garden in this fast-paced duo of plays!

These two masterful Ayckbourn plays will be performed both inside and out, promising to be very special productions that will be epic and intimate in equal measure.

House and Garden ’s storyline can be enjoyed through the eyes of different characters in either the theatre or the garden. House and Garden are both full length plays and can be watched in either order, so if you have not yet booked for both you may wish to return and watch the other play at a later date. For more information about each play, please click either House or Garden.
