As part of its 20th anniversary season, a retrospective of favorite productions from past years, Island Theatre will present a staged play reading of “Humble Boy” next weekend at Rolling Bay Hall.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18 plus a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday, April 19.

All shows are free with a suggested donation of $10.

“Humble Boy” was first performed by Island Theatre in 2006 at the Bainbridge Public Library. Borrowing liberally from “Hamlet,” this nimble and offbeat comedy by Charlotte Jones premiered at London’s National Theatre in 2001. The current production at Rolling Bay Hall is directed by Steve Stolee.

Astrophysicist and socially challenged Felix Humble (Fred Saas) returns home from his research post in Cambridge for his beekeeper father’s funeral and is immediately at loggerheads with his imperious, self-centered mother, Flora (Diane Peterson), who is already in a new relationship with her neighbor, George (Charlie Hamilton). George is also the father of Felix’s ex-girlfriend, Rosie (Jennifer Pippin-Montanez).

Buzzing about and trying to keep the peace is Flora’s ever-present and much put-upon friend, Mercy (Rozzella Kolbegger), who bravely fights a losing battle to restore harmony. The only person with whom Felix can have any meaningful conversation is the taciturn and wise gardener, Jim (George Shannon), who quietly goes on tending the Humbles’ lovely garden amidst the increasingly volatile family passions.

This production marks Island Theatre’s debut show at Rolling Bay Hall (formerly Island Music Guild and currently SpaceCraft performing space). Rolling Bay Hall is at 10598 NE Valley Road.

There will be wine and beer, plus sweets and savories from Bainbridge Bakers, available at the concessions bar in the lobby.

The play contains adult language and situations and is recommended for adults and mature teens.
