About this show
One man, one garden, one last day. On his last day in Blackpool before the waves take it away, Ted, an old-timer with a big heart, recalls the stories and people who made his beloved community garden so special. This new play, written and performed by acclaimed poet Nathan Parker, is full of love, hope and heartbreak as it celebrates community spirit and shines a light on the reality of climate change for seaside towns. This evocative story will leave you feeling inspired, moved and ready to change the world! 'Brilliant, emotional, powerful' (Audience Review).

A lyrical and tender story told well, with the potential to become something very powerful.
At times both moving and amusing, this gentle entertaining wake-up call to the terrible dangers of climate change facing communities really grabbed the audience, who deservedly gave it a standing ovation at the end.
