Hay Fever

About Hay Fever

Hay Fever is Noël Coward’s comedy, directed by Emily Burns. Emmy, two-time Tony, Screen Actors Guild and Drama Desk winner Christine Baranski makes her West End debut as Judith Bliss, alongside Academy Award nominated stage and screen actor Richard E. Grant.

The story is set over a weekend at the Blisses’ country home, where Judith, recently retired from life on stage, is already missing the applause. Her husband David and their children, Sorrel and Simon, are too self-involved to make good hosts, so Judith invites a young fan to stay. Unknown to her, each of the family has also invited a guest, and the house quickly falls into parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores.

It is a comedy about a family that is completely unsuited to hosting and unwilling to compromise, with a chain of overlapping arrivals driving the action.
