Unstaged since its premier at the Royal Court in 1969, Peter Gill’s second play Over Gardens Out is the story of two young men, Dennis and Jeffry. Jeffry, a Londoner, is living now in Cardiff where he befriends Dennis. The play is the story of their relationship. A fractious, romantic friendship; a friendship poised to explode.

Director Andrew Steggall was moved towards the play by artistic director of the Young Vic, David Lan. Short, complex and with a small cast it was a well chosen vehicle for a young company.

In May 2004, over two weeks, Andrew Steggall, designer Tom Curtis and three actors: Niamh Cuasck, Jeremy Joyce and Ben McKay work-shopped the text in the Young Vic’s temporary premises at Oval. The company focused on three scenes and the work culminated in a twenty minute showing.
