Winnie the Pooh is an adaptation by Glyn Robbins of the well-loved children’s books Winnie The Pooh and The House At Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne. The setting for the play is a nursery where Christopher Robin is ill. His father makes up stories about the toys in the room – they come alive and the whole play opens out as we find ourselves in the 100 Aker Wood. Incidents include An Expotition to the North Pole and When Piglet was Entirely Surrounded by Water.

The characters are rather like in last year’s Toad of Toad Hall – except they are much more gentle and not as hard or edgy. They need to be believably the well-loved characters that the children will have had read to them.

As with last year there will be a lot of songs – but again these are of a more gentle nature eg Cottleston Pie. There might even be one choreographed number!

The play will be set in 1926-28 when the novels were written.
