Marin Actors' Workshop Presents HUMBLE BOY, 8/6-22

Marin Actors' Workshop brings "Humble Boy" to Novato. Ken Bacon and Marin Actors' Workshop presents "Humble Boy" by Charlotte Jones. Following its first theatrical production of "Death and the Maiden" in 2009, The Marin Actors' Workshop turns to comedy with "Humble Boy."

After the sudden death of his father, Cambridge astrophysicist Felix Humble returns to his charming English countryside home where his complicated past and domineering mother unveil circumstances that are less than ideal. With humor, horticulture, honey bees and hints of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," this English import is as funny as it is touching. "Humble Boy" received the 2001 London Critics' Circle Theatre Award for "Best New Play."

"Humble Boy" is directed by Terry McGovern.

It will run Aug. 6 to Aug. 22, 2010, 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. at the Novato Theater Company Playhouse (formerly Pacheco Playhouse), Pacheco Plaza Shopping Center, 484 Ignacio Boulevard Novato, CA 94949-6068.
