The Performances
Humble Boy FOUR PERFORMANCES ONLY! A luminous new play about life, love--and bee-keeping. Cambridge research fellow Felix Humble comes home for his father's funeral, only to discover that his bee-keeping dad hasn't exactly vacated the premises. And his queen-bee mother, Flora, has her eye on her next consort. Secrets of the past are rapidly coming to light, the present is confusing and the prospects for the future are disturbing. This tightly woven comedy, the 2001 winner of the London Critics' Circle Award, embraces broken vows, failed hopes and the irony of looking for a unified field theory in all the wrong places. Make a bee line to it to see what the buzz is all about! The cast features Sean Marrinan as Felix Humble, Christine Crawfis as Flora Humble, Elizabeth Barrows as Mercy Lott, Ron Schade as George Pye, Heather Berry as Rosie Pye, and William Connors as Jim, the Gardener. Humble Boy was the winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Award in 2001, the Critics' Circle Best New Play Award 2002, and the People's Choice Best New Play Award 2002. "Sad, very sad; funny, very, very funny...this is a seriously wonderful play. " Sunday Times “Rich, original, intelligent, funny and touching. I can't recommend this lovely play too highly ” Daily Telegraph
