Pozn.: Recovering from a stroke the year before his death, A.A. Milne reflects on his life.  A play by to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of A.A Milne on the 31st January 1956. Best known as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne would have preferred to have been remembered as a dramatist or essayist, rather than an author who wrote for children alone. Milne is recovering from a stroke the year before his death. Through his memories we are taken back to his early life, his marriage, the childhood of his son, Christopher Robin Milne, and we explore his hopes and ambitions, failures and successes. Needless to say, there are some un-whimsical interpolations and interruptions by Pooh, Rabbit and his friends, as well as both the imagined Christopher Robin and the real-life model.

Pozn.: Following a series of deadly smallpox epidemics in the 19th century, the British Government introduced mandatory vaccination for infants under six months. It was only partly successful: in 1871, a smallpox epidemic killed 40,000 people. Moreover, vaccination carried its own agonising risks – not all babies were strong enough to survive the shock to their immune systems. Then in 1874 Bicester, Oxfordshire, Abel Ryder, shopkeeper and pillar of the community, was imprisoned because he refused to submit his newborn son Edward to a compulsory smallpox vaccination. Already two of his sons had died following vaccination, and he decided to take a stand. Abel’s Law dramatises the story of his stand, his defiance of the law, the court case and the moral dilemna.
