A.A.Milne's 1921 play about celebrity.

Looking forward to seeing the great #WilliamGaunt in the title role.

"A fine and merciless and honest play" - Dorothy Parker on A.A. Milne's The Truth About Blayds.

See this classic 1920s play @finboroughtheatre.bsky.social 2-27 September.

Directed by Olivier-award winner David Gilmore.

Andrew Maunder @andrewm73.bsky.social · Jul 2

Great to be working with @finborough theatre again this summer on A.A.Milne's 1921 play The Truth About Blayds (2-27 September ). Neither Winnie the Pooh nor Tigger appear. But it's a reminder that in the 1920s Milne was seen as one of the leading dramatists of the day for "grown-ups".
