This is the final play in our 2024/2025                                                "SIX OF THE BEST OF BRITISH CLASSIC PLAYS" season

​

It is a deeply-moving, mystical yet hilarious play in which the socially-inept Felix, a Cambridge research fellow, returns to his Cotswold family home after his father’s death to find that his mother, the appalling Flora, has disposed of all his father’s belongings, including his bees, and is contemplating re-marriage.

But what does string theory and the behaviour of bees have to do with all of this?
