Humble Boy

A Dark Comedy by Charlotte Jones
Directed by Angela Henry
and Montgomery Björnson

“A beautiful, intricately layered creation that simultaneously captures the head and the heart”
– IAN SHUTTLEWORTH, FINANCIAL TIMES

This poetic and clever comedy earned a Critics Circle Theatre Award. We find Felix Humble, a troubled physicist, brooding Hamlet-like over the death of his father and the much-too-quick move of his mother into the arms of a fun-loving neighbour. His solace is found in his father’s Cotswold garden and apiary where a prying spinster, a past lover, and the bees allow for musings about life and the universe.
