Three mystery dramas and comedies from the great A. A. Milne


Alan Alexander Milne (A.A. Milne) (18 January 1882 - 31 January 1956) was a British author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems. However, he was also a prolific writer of comedy and mysteries. In this collection we have three pieces. One of his most famous mysteries plays Red House Mysteries and a comedy called Mr Pym Passes By followed by a find from the archive from 1944 – The Dover Road which is a comedy.

Red House Mysteries - A house party in the quaint English countryside turns into a murder-trail for an amateur sleuth.

Antony Gillingham and his willing Watson, Bill Beverley set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of their host, Mark Ablett
Plus, can they solve the murder of his long-lost brother?
Will the secret passage, resident ghost or the underwater evidence help them to reveal the murderer?
Mr Pym Passes By - Is a three-act comedy by A. A. Milne, first produced in 1919, and seen in the West End in 1920 and on Broadway and in Australia in 1921.

The play centres on the turbulence in a respectable English household when the fallible memory of an elderly visitor leads a husband and wife to believe that they may inadvertently be bigamously married.

The Dover Road - It depicts the dampening effect of close proximity on the ardour of eloping couples when they are forced into sustained exposure to each other's habits and idiosyncrasies.
