| Notes: | from the novel by David Toulmin (a pseudonym for John Reid) | |||||
| Synopsis: | The novel is a remarkably honest view of life in a farm community between the wars and when it first appeared in 1976 it created a stir in the area, with its frank account of the brutality, harshness and sexuality of the farm workers' existence. Charles Barron has dramatised episodes from it as part of the play which sets events in the author's life against the fictionalised view of them that he uses in his writing. | |||||

| Synopsis: | A fight to the death with grizzly bears, a voyage on board the Discovery, interrogation by a Tibetan secret service man, attack by Japanese fighter planes and smuggling tea out of China. These are just some of the adventures of a group of five men whose jobs may sound unexciting but which led each of them into extreme danger. They were plant hunters, plunging into uncharted territory in search of new species to send home to Britain. The Garden has a number of intriguing new acting areas, including an amphitheatre, a Chinese pagoda and a magnificent wooden Canadian pavilion. The actors will lead the audience around all five of the arenas as they re-enact the lives of the five plant hunters featured in the play. | |||||
