Little Theatre starts year with Humble Boy

Woy Woy Little Theatre's first production for 2016 is Humble Boy, a play by Charlotte Jones.

The play is set in an English country hamlet featuring the melancholic figure of Felix Humble (Keith Conway), an ill-adjusted physicist whose attempts to conceive a general theory of everything have come to naught.

He returns to his late father's Cotswold garden to find his beloved bees have disappeared and his mother Flora (Yvonne Berry Porter) preparing to remarry before the funeral nibbles have reached room temperature.

Felix soon realises that his search for unity must be expanded to include his own chaotic life.

Others in the cast include Paul Russell, Sierra Phillips, Greg Buist and Terry Collins making her return to the Little Theatre after an absence of many years.

The play was recently staged by the Melbourne Theatre Company.

Humble Boystarted its three-weekend season at the Peninsula Theatre in Woy Woy on Friday, February 19, and will complete its run on Sunday, March 6.

Tickets are available on line at www.woywoylt.com.au or by phone 4344 4737 and leave a message.
