Now We Are Sixty

Synopsis:
Milne achieved immortal worldwide fame and fortune when he created the character of 'Winnie the Pooh' in stories written for his infant son, Christopher Robin. Yet the acclaim of those "four slim volumes" eclipsed the main legacy of the man who wrote plays, poetry and novels which delighted readers long before he started writing for children . . . a fact that haunted the man whose humour and wit enchanted generations, but hid experiences of a much darker nature. Brandreth and Slade's affectionate tribute to AA Milne combines high farce with nostalgia and drama in a theatrical production which celebrates the genius behind an extremely private man in a public spotlight.

'No matter how eloquently a dog may bark, he cannot tell you that his parents were poor but honest.' Only words can do that. Language is power. Words are magic.

Whether you're after global domination or getting some nookie on a Friday night, you need the right words to get there.
