Just saw the excellent, charming production of "Farm Boy" directed by David Fofi which opened as a guest production at the Matrix Theatre on Melrose yesterday. The play stars veteran Lawrence Pressman & newcomer Simon Lees who is destined for a great career. In 1982 Michael Morpurgo's family friendly novel "War Horse" was published with the sequel "Farm Boy" following in 1997. The latter book was adapted into a play by Daniel Buckroyd and an excellent play I will say performed with style and superior acting by Lawrence Pressman as Grandfather & Simon Lees as the Grandson. The heartwarming 70 minute production which takes place in rural England after World War 1 is really great storytelling and definitely a worthwhile trip to the Matrix. The play also features original music by Katrina Wood who produces with Barney D. Neeley with beautiful set design by Aaron Glazer. HH(:
