Humble Boy
By Charlotte Jones

From 30/11/2023 until 02/12/2023

Winner of the 2002 Critic’s Circle Theatre Award, and inspired by Hamlet, Humble Boy is a comedy about broken vows, failed hopes and the joys of bee-keeping.

Felix Humble is a Cambridge astro-physicist who returns home after the death of his father. He finds that his difficult and demanding mother plans to marry George Pye, the complete opposite of his intellectual and passionate father. Things finally reach a crescendo at a family garden dinner party.
