‘Old Herbaceous’ Outdoor Theatre at The Moorland Garden Hotel

Described as ‘Downton Abbey with gardening tips’ by The Guardian, Old Herbaceous is the humorous love story of a single-minded yet gentle man with a passion for plants. It is a charming one-man play which has entranced audiences all around the country. An acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a simpler age, Old Herbaceous is sprinkled with witticisms and epithets. As Old Herbaceous, renowned actor Giles Shenton truly lives the part of the legendary Head Gardener, Herbert Pinnegar, inviting you to feel included in a private chat from a bygone, comforting age. Keeping you engrossed, amused and emotionally engaged from start to finish, Old Herbaceous will leave you with a feeling that, perhaps, all’s right with the world.

"Giles Shenton is superb...completely captivating, he has the audience's attentions and imaginations throughout" The Reviews Hub
