Wurzel-Flummery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wurzel-Flummery is a play by A. A. Milne, which was performed for the first time in 1917, in London.[1]

It was the first play Milne wrote. He originally wrote it in three acts, but when he got a good offer for a production if he cut it down to a two-act play, he rewrote it. By removing another character, he got it down to one act, which he liked best in the end.[2]

On 7 April 1917 it was produced with the following cast: Nigel Playfair, Helen Haye, Peggy Kurton, Martin Lewis, Dion Boucicault Jr.[3] and Bertram Siems at the New Theatre, London.
