| | Brigitte Forsyth - Thelma from the Likely Lads - talks about fame, growing old gracefully and her love of gardening. |
| | | 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 Shakespeares 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. | | | |
