'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Based on the 1911 novel of the same name by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The Secret Garden follows the story of Mary Lennox as she survives a deadly plague in India that kills her parents and forces her to live with her Grief stricken Uncle Archibald in England.
As part of Jordan's Final Major Project, she redesigned and built a full scale set. She developed her designs from September to November before finally beginning to build the set in January. For her final build, she designed the set to be movable on stage as well as showing both sides of the garden door. During her module at university, she handmade the majority of her props and set dressing, developing her skills and keeping her full scale build to a high standard.
This set will be used in another production in 2023.
