In the Lady Garden

A sharp, moving comedy monologue about a 69-year-old woman reflecting on the choices that shaped her life and challenging expectations placed on women across generations.

Theatre Royal Bath presents In The Lady Garden, a rip-roaring and moving comedy created by The Lady Gardeners (writer Babs Horton, director Deborah Edgington and actor Julia Faulkner).

At 69, Alice reflects on how her life might have been different and considers whether to shake off the shackles of the patriarchy and live with outrageous abandon. The show explores topics rarely discussed in theatre, including growing up as a girl in the 1950s and 1960s, menopause and the invisibility of older women.
