with Giles Shenton as ‘Herbert’
by Alfred Shaughnessy from the novel by Reginald Arkell   Directed by Simon Downing

Giles Shenton, as Old Herbaceous, keeps us engrossed, entertained, amused and emotionally engaged. Old Herbaceous is an acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a gentler, simpler age.

Sprinkled with witticisms and epithets.  Giles Shenton truly lives the part and makes us feel it’s a private chat from a bygone and comforting age that leaves us with a feeling that, perhaps, all’s right with the world.
The humorous love story of a single-minded yet gentle man with a passion for plants has been entrancing audiences around the country.
