Miss Myrtle’s Garden brings a tender touch to thorny subjects — theatre review Danny James King’s moving new drama explores dementia, grief and anxieties about coming out at London’s Bush Theatre

I found tender new play Miss Myrtle’s Garden at the Bush Theatre very lovely — theatre review on.ft.com/3Hw9scY

An older woman, in a purple dressing gown and an orange head wrap stands on the left, facing right. Her grandson (adult) faces her and tenderly closes her dressing gown, smiling.

An older woman, in an orange head wrap, floral frock and beige cardigan extends her hand towards an older man, who wears a short-sleeved shirt, is bald and has a grey beard. He smiles tenderly at her, whilst also extending a hand towards her. Their hands are almost touching. She looks tentative and a little quizzical, but sure of who he is. (He is her late husband).

A grandson embraces his grandma whilst his boyfriend looks on.

A young man speaks passionately in the background (left), whilst his grandma (in purple, right, foreground, in profile) listens.

Miss Myrtle’s Garden opens at the Bush Theatre. This production, written by Danny James King, is directed by Bush Theatre’s Artistic Director, Taio Lawson, with set and costume design by Khadija Raza & lighting design by Joshua Gadsby. 1/2
