The Chalk Garden by Enid Bagnold

Directed by Elly Kent Johnson

First performed in 1955, The Chalk Garden by Enid Bagnold, tells the story of the imperious Mrs St Maugham and her granddaughter Laurel, a disturbed child under the care of Miss Madrigal, a governess. Miss Madrigal’s secretive past life is a mystery that is solved during the action of the play. The story also explores the impact of Miss Madrigal on a dysfunctional household, including the put-upon manservant, Maitland, and the unseen but malignant ex-butler living upstairs.
