The Honey Bees is a play to be performed at Yarrabilba State Secondary College on the weekends of October 9 and 16.
MyCity Logan has teamed with Village Green Theatre Group to give away two double passes to a performance of your choice.
Written by Aussie playwright Caleb Lewis, it’s about a family-owned apiary that is struggling to survive while the world’s honey bees are disappearing.
Set at a small family owned apiary in dry and desolate outback Western Australia, this beautifully crafted story explores the life and history of a bee-keeping household including countless subplots, twists and turns that intertwine in a tight, enthralling manner.
Joan is the strong-willed mother and widow who runs the business, with help from her daughter Clover, dedicated labourer Kerrie (and long term partner of Clover) and some overworked and underpaid ‘woofers’ (backpackers).
Her son Daryl has secured a business transaction with a US company to keep his family’s apiary financially safeguarded, but the agreement does not exactly go according to plan.
Amid this increasingly stressful situation arrives Melissa, a 20-something angsty runaway from Sydney searching for answers. The Honey Bees is a tale of family and empire; action and consequences; and what happens when the bee
finally stings.
Director and president of the Village Green Theatre Group Jo Connolly says that it is the first drama the group has presented, and it’s the last show of the year.
