She's
had a distiguished career on both TV and stage - but to most people
she will always be Thelma, the formitable wife of Bob in the Likely
Lads.
Fans of
the series and of Brigitte Forsyth herself can see her appearing in
the critically aclaimed play Humble Boy, at the Malvern festival Theatre.
In a pretty Cotswolds garden beautiful ex-bunny girl Flora and her
troubled astrophysicist son Felix are mourning their beekeeping husband
and father, the late James Humble.
The play
has been described as gently echoing the themes of Shakespeare聮s
Hamlet, and brilliantly explores love, longing and death.
It's an examination of the pain and joy of family love, and is also
widely acclaimed as one of the finest new plays of recent years.
Brigitte Forsyth says she's enjoying her stay in Malvern, particularly
the hills.
You have until Saturday to see the play.
