hay fever
by Noël Coward
running time: 2 hours 10 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
Classic comedy of British bad manners
It’s June, the sun is shining, and the ever-so-eccentric Bliss family are looking forward to a glorious weekend in the country. The problem is, all four of them have had exactly the same idea and invited a wholly unsuitable guest to stay. With sleeping arrangements sorted, the stage is set for a jolly party… mostly at their visitors’ expense.
This is Noël Coward at his very best. Sharp, fast and very funny. Don’t miss one of the greatest British stage comedies ever, a light-hearted, timeless romp.
