Hay Fever

About Hay Fever

Hay Fever is Noël Coward’s comedy in a new production 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.

Set in the Blisses’ country home, the play follows retired stage star Judith, who misses the applause and invites a young fan to stay for the weekend. Her husband David and children Sorrel and Simon are ill-equipped to host, and when each family member brings their own guest, the house slips into a comedy of parlour games, put-downs and unwanted encores.

This production pairs a well-known Coward play with a cast led by Christine Baranski and Richard E. Grant, making it a clear option for anyone looking for a classic comedy in the West End.

Key facts: Running time is 2 hours including the interval.
