Overview
“I hate Christopher Robin. He’s everything I loathe about England. Sentimental. Sanctimonious. Above all, false. Childhood was never like that.”
The Berlin Wall has fallen. Reparations are being made to Jewish families. Germany has reunited. And in Belsize Park, Otto Huberman is listening to recordings of himself playing Brahms, when he is interrupted by a visitor who will turn his life upside down.
Alice Hamilton directs Judith Burnley’s debut play.
Judith Burnley is the author of best-selling novels The Wife and Unrepentant Women and editor of the Penguin Modern Stories series. Anything that Flies is her first play.
Alice Hamilton is Co-Artistic Director of Up in Arms Theatre Company. She has worked as Assistant Director at Trafalgar Studios, Liverpool Playhouse and Rose Theatre Kingston.
