The Birmingham Stage Company is renowned for its colourful adaptations of children’s stories, and looks set to have another triumph on its hands with a new production of Tom’s Midnight Garden.
Running at the Alhambra from February 11 to 15, the family show is based on Philippa Pearce’s children’s novel about a boy called Tom who, following an illness, is sent to live under quarantine with his aunt and uncle in an apartment building in a former Victorian country house.
When the grandfather clock in the hallway chimes 13 times, Tom is transported to a secret garden from the past, enabling him to travel back in time. Here he meets Hatty, a girl from the 1880s, and together the new friends enjoy a series of adventures in the magical garden.
But with each new journey through time, strange things begin to happen – and Tom must solve the mystery of the midnight garden.
