Get tickets to Miss Myrtle’s Garden at the Bush Theatre, London
Miss Myrtle’s Garden is a wonderfully warm, witty, and life-affirming exploration into how we acknowledge the past, as a means to confronting life head-on in the present.
A world premiere production by Danny James King and directed by Taio Lawson, Miss Myrtle’s Garden stars Diveen Henry (The Inheritance, Wedding Band) and Michael Ahomka-Lindsay (Cabaret).
Miss Myrtle’s Garden runs from 31 May 2025 until 12 July 2025 at the Bush Theatre, London
‘I don’t visit the past. The past visits me.’
Miss Myrtle is a sharp-tongued woman with an unkempt garden in a rapidly changing neighbourhood. To top it off, her grandson Rudy and his ‘close friend’ Jason need a place to stay, and local drunk Eddie keeps relieving himself against her garden wall.
Rudy is pushing for answers about the past, but Myrtle doesn’t want to be troubled by duppies – she just wants some peace and quiet. As her brain starts to fight against her, far more complicated questions about grief, love, and understanding demand to be confronted; but she’s running out of time.
