About Hay Fever

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

Set at the Bliss family’s country home, the story follows Judith, who has recently retired from life on stage but still misses the applause. When she invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend, each member of the family has also invited a guest of their own, and the house quickly tips into chaos.

As the Blisses prove badly suited to hosting and unwilling to compromise, the weekend turns into a mix of parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores.

Running time: 2 hours including the interval.
