Quick wit and biting satire have always been hallmarks of Noël Coward’s work, and Hay Fever is no different. The quintessentially English comedy looks at the Bliss Family, a theatrical family who love intrigue, arguing and the spotlight.
When each family member invite a potential love interest on a family weekend, their guests have no idea what they are in for. The slightly mad bohemian lot put on a melodrama like no other, and there’s no way to get out.
Director Imara Savage joins designer Alicia Clements to stage the raging drama in the sophisticated setting of Coward’s roaring twenties. The cast includes Harriet Dyer, Tony Llewellyn-Jones and Helen Thomson among others.
