Northampton?s Victorian theatre, The Royal, and its next door neighbour, state-of-the-art Derngate, are jointly staging Alan Ayckbourn?s ?House & Garden?, the first time in its 18 year history that Derngate has staged a play which has been produced and directed in-house.
The two venues merged to form one organisation almost two years ago, and whilst retaining their unique identities, have been working towards cross-site operations. ?House & Garden? involves actors commuting between two auditoria, making the Northampton theatres one of only three venues in the country able to stage this production.
