Magdalena Miecznicka to make playwriting debut at Hampstead Theatre with Nineteen Gardens

Nineteen Gardens at Hampstead Theatre

Nineteen Gardens at Hampstead Theatre

Magdalena Miecznicka is set to make her playwriting debut at Hampstead Theatre with Nineteen Gardens, an intimate two-hander directed by Alice Hamilton and starring Olivia Le Andersen and David Sturzaker. Nineteen Gardens has its world premiere in the theatre’s Downstairs space from 3 November to 9 December 2023 (press night Thursday 9 November, 7pm).

Enigmatic and explosive, Nineteen Gardens, delves into the complex lives of two lovers entangled by an extramarital affair.

“When I got your email my heart went out to you. All of a sudden it dawned on me how I had missed you – how I had missed what we’d had.”

       

Nearly two years after the end of their affair, John and Aga meet once more.  Each has filled the void left by the other: he has withdrawn into his world of wealth and privilege; she has found herself working as a chambermaid to support her family. Both recognise that the spark between them is still there. Will they rekindle what they had, or is an altogether darker game about to be played out?

Polish writer Magdalena Miecznicka’s lyrical and human comedy is by turns seductive, enigmatic and explosive. Known for her accomplished novels in Polish, Miecznicka, also a journalist and literary critic, is now based in London and Nineteen Gardens marks her theatre debut.
