“When I got your email my heart went out to you. All of a sudden it dawned on me how I had missed you – how I had missed what we’d had.”

Hampstead Theatre present Nineteen Gardens, a new play by Polish journalist and literary critic Magdalena Miecznicka.

Nineteen Gardens is a gripping new play that explores the power of love, lust, and betrayal in a world of stark contrasts. Miecznicka’s lyrical human comedy is by turns seductive, enigmatic and explosive.

Nineteen Gardens runs from 3 November until 9 December 2023 at Hampstead Theatre, London.

“When I got your email my heart went out to you. All of a sudden it dawned on me how I had missed you – how I had missed what we’d had.”

Nearly two years after the end of their affair, John and Aga meet once more. Each has filled the void left by the other: he has withdrawn into his world of wealth and privilege; she has found herself working as a chambermaid to support her family. Both recognise that the spark between them is still there. Will they rekindle what they had, or is an altogether darker game about to be played out…?
