Miss Myrtle's Garden description
Miss Myrtle is a sharp-tongued woman with an unkempt garden in a rapidly changing neighbourhood. To top it off, her grandson Rudy and his ‘close friend’ Jason need a place to stay, and local drunk Eddie keeps relieving himself against her garden wall.
Rudy is pushing for answers about the past; but Myrtle doesn’t want to be troubled by duppies – she just wants some peace and quiet. As her brain starts to fight against her, far more complicated questions about grief, love and understanding demand to be confronted; but she’s running out of time.
Miss Myrtle’s Garden is a wonderfully warm, witty, and life-affirming exploration into how we acknowledge the past, as a means to confronting life head on in the present. A world premiere production by Danny James King, Directed by incoming Bush Artistic Director, Taio Lawson.
