SUMMARY:Bumbled: a one man show ft. Colin Hamell
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 22nd\n7:30pm\nDoors open at 7pm\n  \nBumbled is a one-person\, bee-twerking\, Irish slow-dancing\, sex-dodging\, odyssey – where ‘too late’ often comes sooner than you think \nLife is short\, especially if you’re a bee. Not long to make honey\, prop up the human food chain\, and fall in love. Bumbled follows Pascal\, an Irish honeybee\, as he embarks on a hilarious and poignant journey to tell the world about the importance of bees\, save the planet\, and find true happiness with his French girlfriend\, the epic Marion. All the while trying to avoid his balls exploding\, his manhood falling off and certain death. \nABOUT THE SHOW\nQuite often the worst of ideas are conceived over a glass of wine. But now and again\, if the Spanish sun lingers long enough\, “you might just have something there”. \nPerched on a balcony\, overlooking a gloriously aging Galician village\, a beekeeping Corkman regaled us with yarns of his little ‘doozer’ friends. \n“They’re a lot like us\, you know.” “They keep the world turning\, so they do.” “Bet you don’t know that they……” We listened\, wide-eyed\, like kids at story time\, and as the anecdotes continued\, our passing interest became fascination… and intrigue… and laughter. \nAnd so\, in association with a few bottles of 1906\, and Fernando’s finest Treixadura\, ‘Bumbled’ was born. Sometimes when you find yourself sitting amid nature and learning how it really works\, it dawns on you that you have a definite responsibility to at least try to help preserve it. And as Irishmen\, you also have an obligation to take the piss out of it. Because that’s just what we do. \nWe hope you enjoy Bumbled. \nAnd if you have balls\, we hope that they never explode. \nNot tonight\, anyway \nThe Team:\nPerformed by Colin Hamell\nWritten by Bernard McMullan\nDirected by Carmel O’Reilly\nSound design by Stephen Russell\nProduced by TírNa Theatre and The Here Comes Everybody Players \nCARMEL O’REILLY is a director and actor living in Cambridge\, MA.
