Tir Na Theatre presens Bumbled at New York Irish Center
At the NY Irish center Carmel O'Reilly offers up a stingingly (pun-intended) directed presentation
of a skillfully acted one man performance thanks to the fine, energetic actor Colin Hamell in "Bumbled".
"Bumbled", over one hour plus minutes, give the audience a buzzingly (Pun-intended) smart look at the
behavior of bees, drones, workers and the queen herself.
Deftly written by Bernard McMullan, "Bumbled" gives us a tour of ourselves. As the bumbled bee
actor Colin Hamell who is dressed just like a bee himself take us on a tour of warning about life.
He first dances up a wiggly-backside jig when the show begin and after a time of humerous tugging
settles furthur into more serious reflections, the plight of bee species itself which seem to have dwindled
world wide over the past many years. Why? How? Is it the canary inside nature's mine- are we being
warned as a human species?
'Bumbled" is smart. apt reflection in lots of ways making it more than just a spoonful of honey.
Colin Hamell is blessed with the ability of doing all kinds of accents and display his huge talent full of
humor and empathy while narrating the international bee festival in Ireland. He is so incredibly funny
that the audience on first night of his performance were roaring throug out with sudden bursts of
laughter.
A brilliant and extremely enjoyable performance, well directed and well lit.
Run to catch the remaining performances. It's great fun to watch the talented Colin Hamell.
