In Noel Coward's delicious confection Hay Fever, each member of the eccentric Bliss family – a retired actress, her novelist husband, and their two grown children – invites a guest to their country home, without informing each other. The innocent visitors arrive expecting a romantic weekend, and step into a whirlwind of confusion, chaos and comedy. Hay Fever, one of Noel Coward’s best, is a play about bad manners, outrageous behavior, incomparable wit and biting satire. |
