First Plays Wurzel-Flummery -- The lucky one -- The boy comes home -- Belinda -- The red feathers. Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "First Plays" by A. A. Milne is a collection of five theatrical works created in the early 20th century, specifically during the years surrounding World War I. These plays, while offering a variety of comedic scenarios, reflect the author's experiences and sentiments shaped by the socio-political landscape of the time. The works include "Wurzel-Flummery," "The Lucky One," "The Boy Comes Home," "Belinda," and "The Red Feathers," showcasing a blend of drama and wit in the characters' interpersonal conflicts and societal interactions. The beginning of "First Plays" presents an introduction by A. A. Milne, who elaborates on the context of the plays' creation during wartime and explains his personal journey from soldier to playwright. Specifically, he recounts how he, initially hesitant about pursuing this artistic venture, found the time and inspiration to write while serving in the army. The opening play, "Wurzel-Flummery," introduces us to Robert Crawshaw, an M.P. who discovers he has inherited a significant fortune under the peculiar condition that he changes his name to "Wurzel-Flummery." This comedic premise sets the stage for discussions on identity, pride, and public perception, all of which hint at the broader themes explored throughout the collection.
