Starring Robert Barthurst, Leah Williams, Rosie Jones and Anton Lesser, with music by Sarah Homer and directed by Jeremy Mortimer, it explores the effort to save Ashdown Forest and Christopher Robin Milne's role in the campaign.

[audience laughing] What's it like working with Rosie Jones? Is it frustrating? Is it...
