Sarah Beth Hall stunningly brought the Hundred Acre Wood to the stage with a map backdrop and decorative floor set, complete with tree stumps and logs. The Heffalump tracks in the aisles of the theatre brought the story into the audience, while many shades of green and brown complemented the woodland setting.

The set (designed by Sarah Beth Hall) so perfectly recreated E.H. Shepard’s iconic map from A.A. Milne’s original Winnie the Pooh books that as we took our seats, my two-year-old, attending his first play, pointed to the stage and shouted, “It’s the Hundred Acre Wood!”
