Description 'The bee's knees of quantum comedy'. Possesses ingredients that bear comparison with the agonising soul-searching which was a tragic element in Shakespeare's Hamlet. The scene is set in a most delightful Cotswold garden, where James Humble, a biology teacher and amateur beekeeper, tended his bees. But James dies, and his son, the nerdy Felix, a Cambridge astrophysicist, returns home.
