Why not try

The Honey Man

Writer Tyrone Huggins plays the title role in this compelling contemporary production, featuring sparkling dialogue, an atmospheric soundscape, and a visually imaginative design.

Honey Man is an ageing West Indian recluse, trying to save his dying bees in a derelict cottage on the edge of rural England. Into his world bursts a 16 year old girl called Misty. His stormy encounter with this fiery, weed-smoking heir to the nearby manor house leads to an unlikely friendship, and the discovery of a secret which connects their past, present and destiny in ways they could never have imagined.
