Humble Boy, An Adult Comedy, Opens at YTI
NEW BEDFORD, MA: Charlotte Jones’s highly
acclaimed adult comedy Humble Boy, an intelligent, funny and touching play, and
the final major production of Your Theatre, Inc.’s 61st Season opens on May 7
for a nine performance run. Directed by Your Theatre’s Judy Lemay of New
Bedford, the play runs Wednesdays through Saturdays May 7-10 and 14–17 with a
matinee Sunday, May 11. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. for all shows except the 2:30
p.m. Sunday matinee.
Cast in the production are Robert Duquette of Somerset, Tim Goff of Fall River,
Sarah Morse of Dartmouth, Carol Oliva of Fairhaven, Juli L. Parker of Swansea
and Clifford Wood of Assonet.
Robin Richard of New Bedford, is production stage manager.
The play, originally produced by the Royal National Theatre August 2001 and in
the United States by the Manhattan Theatre Club April 2003, centers around Felix
Humble who returns home to his bee keeping father's funeral in middle England,
only to discover his difficult and domineering mother in the arms of another
man. As he struggles to find his balance in the midst of familial chaos, what
emerges is a touching, funny and entertaining dysfunctional family portrait.
Poignant and hilarious, philosophical and wise, this is widely acclaimed as one
of the finest new plays of recent years.
Winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Award, the Critics' Circle Best New Play
Award and the People's Choice Best New Play Award, Humble Boy garnered excellent
notices “….a marvelous play: harsh and forgiving; sad; funny, very, very funny;
and ….light on its feet…” —John Peter, The Sunday Times “...rich, original,
intelligent, funny and touching, bursting with ideas and characters that you
come to care about deeply...” - Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
