BWW Reviews: Trinity's Triumphant GARDEN Blooms with Love and Laughter
In most cases, when you have a pair or set of something, one is bound to be stronger or better than the other. They may claim to be, or try to be, but one is usually superior in some way. Alan Ayckborn's House & Garden is no different. In this theatrical pair, two plays designed to be performed simultaneously in adjoining theaters by the same cast, the clearly superior sibling is Garden, the second of the two to open at Trinity Repertory Company.

Hailed by Timemagazine as "An audacious, crazy, altogether brilliant achievement, ' the Guardian UK calls the evening "much more than a romp, ' and states that the play just 'bursts at the seams with comedy, intrigue and calamity."
