Humble Boy is a comedy about broken vows, failed hopes and the joys of bee keeping. All is not well in the Humble household. Felix Humble is a Cambridge astrophysicist in search of a unified field theory. Following the sudden death of his father, Felix returns home to be with his difficult and demanding mother. He soon realizes that his search for unity must be expanded to include his own chaotic life.
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc, Humble Boy is the recipient of the Susan Smith Blackburn Award, the Critics’ Circle Best New Play Award and the People’s Choice Best New Play Award.
“(Howard) Allen has set his production on a stage design that carries reality far beyond any previous Beowulf Alley show. A beautifully painted backdrop of a somewhat hazy sky sets the tone for the contrasts of an immaculate British garden filled with rows of tall and impressively blossoming plants. A corner wall with a wooden gate frames this garden that covers half the stage. Sections of an impressive two-story country home and its stylish French doors dominate the stage's other half. (Scenic Designer, Joel Charles and Scenic Artist, Bill Galbreath)” - Chuck Graham, Tucson Citizen
“It's a most unlikely setting for all the lust, disgust, anger and bitterness that populates Charlotte Jones' idea-packed and funny "Humble Boy." - Kathleen Allen, Arizona Daily Star
