In the Lady Garden has had sell-out runs, 4-star reviews and glowing feedback from both audiences and industry alike. This acclaimed new comedy was selected in 2024 as one of seven Edinburgh National Partnerships productions supported by the Pleasance in association with Theatre Royal Plymouth — culminating in a four-week run at the Pleasance Courtyard during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show was also shortlisted for the Popcorn Writing Award and named runner-up for the Brighton Fringe Excellence Award. It is now touring the UK.
