The Chalk Garden

The Chalk Garden

"The Chalk Garden" by Enid Bagnold has been produced as a 1955 play, a 1964 film, a 1971 revival, and a 2008 play.

The 1955 Broadway play was inspired by Bagnold's own garden at North End House in Rottingdean, near Brighton, Sussex, the former home of Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Irene M. Selznick was the producer, and the designer was Cecil Beaton. Gladys Cooper (who was also in the 1971 revival) appeared as Mrs. St Maugham, with Siobhán McKenna as Miss Madrigal and Betsy Von Furstenberg as Laurel, a disturbed child under Miss Madrigal's care. The play began its run in London at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in April 1956, directed by Sir John Gielgud with Dame Edith Evans as Mrs. St Maugham, and Peggy Ashcroft as Miss Madrigal. Dame Edith Evans was nominated in 1965 for an Oscar as Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

The 1964 film featured Dame Edith Evans as Mrs. St. Maugham, and Deborah Kerr as Miss Madrigal, Hayley Mills as Laurel, and Sir John Mills as the butler Maitland. It was directed by Ronald Neame(CBE).

A 2008 production was directed by Michael Grandage, with Margaret Tyzack, Penelope Wilton, and Felicity Jones, at the Donmar Warehouse, in London.
