Description
A brilliant play about family dynamics and the search for unity. Charlotte Jones's Humble Boy is a moving exploration of love, anger and reconciliation, set against the backdrop of beekeeping and astrophysics. When Felix returns to his family home after his father's sudden death, he must confront the emotional turmoil that has been building inside him. As Felix navigates his complicated relationships with his mother and her lover, he is forced to re-examine his own search for a unified field theory - and find unity within himself. With wit and heartbreak, Humble Boy plumbs the depths of human emotion, raising larger questions about the universe and smaller ones about family life. A serious and cerebral play that has been praised for its moving portrayal of family dynamics, Humble Boy is a feast of language and insight.
