“You
enter Southwark Playhouse by lifting a sheet hanging
off a washing line and find the entire auditorium covered
with more sheets on other washing lines. But as each
are removed during the course of Over Gardens Out and
different domestic playing areas are suddenly revealed,
Andrew Steggall’s production gently coaxes a resonant
little drama out of the everyday collisions of people’s
lives and in particular the minutely observed, disruptive
friendship between two teenage boys at its centre………..Steggall’s
staging is full of reservoirs of such suppressed emotions
that it brings this play to life in a way that makes
it seem both real and immediate.” Mark
Shenton
