Born In The Gardens

Born In The Gardens

Born In The Gardens is a comedy play by Bristol-born playwright Peter Nichols.

Nichols wrote the play in 1979, after his now famous drama Privates On Parade was rejected by the Bristol Old Vic for being too controversial. "Born In The Gardens" was staged in the Theatre Royal (now the Bristol Old Vic) to celebrate it's 200th anniversary. The cast for the premiere included Beryl Reid, Peter Bowles, Barry Foster and Jennie Linden and the production transferred to the Gielgud Theatre in London where it played for 9 months. A TV version with Constance Chapman replacing Reid was shown in 1986.

The play centres on an elderly Bristolian mother and son living in a crumbling Victorian manor house.
