| NEWS |
We are very proud and excited to say that after the success of the Show Must Go On, Networks Theatre is back again with a super play version of the much loved classic novel The Secret Garden.
The show is adapted and directed by Networks Theatre Artistic Director Nick Moore. He said. “we are so happy to be back doing what we do best at Networks Theatre in Orihuela that is presenting good quality theatre in English. The talented cast do a brilliant job and we hope people will once again return to the magic of live theatre.”
Join us as we discover Mary Lennox’s story. Returning from India after the death of her parent’s from cholera, Mary finds herself in the care of her Uncle Archibald in the austere Yorkshire home of Misselthwaite Manor. With nothing to do she discover a locked “secret” garden. With the help of the staff and her newly discovered cousin, Colin, she brings not only the garden, but the house back to life. This touching story is only being presented this week. Tickets are available from our website. 
Networks Theatre is back. Can you imagine that in one week it will be two years since our theatre had last been used as a theatrical venue. Two years ago, as we were about to rehearse our musical Psychedelic Cool the dreaded virus closed us down. During the pandemic the space was converted into a classroom almost like a wartime necessity. We’ve been waiting patiently for its return and now this week it’s back!
As Artistic Director of the theatre it’s my very great pleasure to welcome everyone back to our special venue and to THE SHOW MUST GO ON a really funny and entertaining show.
This hilariously funny comedy adapted by Ines Ruiz tells the story of a theatre group fighting against the odds to produce their annual pantomime. If you can, come along and join us and discover once again the joy of live theatre in our special black box theatre.
See you there!
