POOH VS. JEEVES BY DAVID BAUGHAN that Wodehouse was getting a reputation as a visionary.

There was one notable area where Milne and Wodehouse also parted company – politics.

Milne, regarded himself as an intellectual and was a pacifist. In 1934 he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour. He also wrote pamphlets and letters to the media on the political situation. But when the Second World War started, Milne became a vociferous patriot.

P.G. WODEHOUSE THE CAST: Wodehouse, P.G. (1881–1975), creator of Jeeves & Wooster Milne, A.A. (1882–1956), creator of Winnie-the-Pooh THE SETTING: Britain, France, and the United States between the late-19th and mid-20th centuries.

THE STORY: English writers Alan Alexander Milne and Pelham Grenville Wodehouse were born three months apart. They both went to public schools in London – Milne to Westminster, Wodehouse to Dulwich – and they became close friends in the early 1920s. They joined financial forces to invest in Ian Hay’s dramatization of Wodehouse’s novel A Damsel in Distress in 1928, by which

Wodehouse’s books and having him banned from the BBC. Wodehouse had his allies, one of whom was George Orwell, but popular opinion ran against him. Still, he was not a man to bear grudges and over time forgave Milne.

Times change. In the 1980s, American writer Benjamin Hoff helped re-elevate Milne’s reputation by describing in The Tao of Pooh (and then The Te of Piglet) how Milne’s Pooh books could be used to explain the basic tenements of Taoism. In Milne’s day, there had been criticisms of his work, particularly when it was compared to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows. At the time, Milne’s writings seemed dated but no longer. He again takes his place on an equal footing with Wodehouse.

However, what A.A. Milne gives us is not pure formula.

He adds an ingredient that has flavoured much of his enduring work. It is is both simple and sophisticated – it is whimsy.

MARK DUMEZ Director

DIRECTOR’S NOTES Welcome.

Welcome to a two-hour getaway from whatever drove you here. Welcome to a Tudor country manor where the best laid plans might be laid to waste. Welcome to this story.

It has been a pleasure to kick off our second show of the year with such fine artists.

Mr. Pim Passes By, on one level, is a simple drawing room farce. A good laugh.

Mr. Pim, the human "deus ex machina", blows in and comedy ensues. A tried-andtrue formula of stodgy patriarch, liberated matriarch, furtive young lovers and comic servants. The play could be a simple comedy like many others of its time.

"Whimsy: A sudden notion, fancy, or idea. To let the eyes wander...." Not the strongest word in the bunch. Hardly sexy, racy or wild. It lacks fortitude, sitting there on the shelf among other antiquated words. It doesn't work as hard as it should and gets very little finished during the day. Nudging, in some inexplicable way, toward change. That fresh wind. A magic moment in the middle of the day. That chocolate bar calling from the cupboard – answer the call – on a whim.

A call from chaos, to a kinder chaos, inexplicably better than the one before.

CTF, utilized banraku puppets and three human actors in an exploration of the world of lost dreams and, most recently, he is proud to have assisted Jeremy Tow in CTF’s highly nuanced and powerful telling of The Miracle Worker.

Mark has collaborated with companies including Theatre X, Pacific Theatre, TheatreOne, and CTF in the development of over a dozen new plays.

Acting has taken him across many borders, including performing in a new adaptation of Ibsen’s John Gabriel Borkman (Theatre X), appearing as the Dauphin in Henry V at the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival and playing his one man show, Finding Centre, in a grassy field in Hungary. At CTF, he has acted in over 20 shows including a conflicted young priest in Mass Appeal, Prince Edward in Queen Milli of Whimsy- that turn in the road, Galt, landlord Anthony Wilding that sets us truly straight. in the heartwarming Enchanted Welcome to Mr. Pim Passes By.

Best known for his books about Winnie-the-Pooh and various children’s poems, Milne was also a gifted playwright. But the huge success of the Pooh stories overshadowed his earlier works and in fact became a huge annoyance to him. He was the assistant editor of the British humour magazine Punch for many years and wrote over 25 plays and seven novels.
