‘Hay Fever’ is one of Noël Coward’s most celebrated and oft-produced plays. An arch comedy of manners and familial turmoil, the play relates the goings-on of the eccentric Bliss family, headed by former actress Judith, writer David and their children, Sorel and Simon. Gathered at their country estate, each member of the Bliss family reveals that they have invited a separate guest for the weekend without informing the others and when their four guests arrive, the play quickly escalates as the guests and the family continue to ricochet off each other during the course of a tumultuous weekend. Among the most highly acclaimed of Coward’s works, ‘Hay Fever’ is presented in its original and unabridged format.
