Humble Boy
Written by Charlotte Jones

2005—2006 Season
Hysteria, sex, delusion, and death—just your typical family gathering...
All is not well in the Humble hive. Felix Humble is a 35 year-old astrophysicist who returns home after his beekeeper father's sudden death. Once home, he must not only deal with the loss of his father, but his domineering mother and the discovery of her long-term affair, as well as his relationship with his former girlfriend (who happens to be the daughter of his mother's "signficant other"). Hilarious and poignant, this examination of the joy and pain of family love has been widely acclaimed as one of the best new plays of recent years.
