Down in the Garden, preparations are underway for the annual village fete but clouds are gathering everywhere, in the sky and within personal lives. There's never been a storm quite like this before! House and Garden are two linked comedies played simultaneously in adjacent auditoria by the same cast!

The shows can also be seen as individual pieces. Each Play 2 hrs 20mins. Evening performances continue in the foyer for approx 45mins.
