HAY FEVER! 🍸
Starring….this wonderful cast

In this re-setting of a performance of Noel Coward’s Hay Fever as part of a gala night, the original cast of 1925 are re-united to create a definitive rendition of the production as a radio play. Meet the dreadful Bliss family who are determined to be as rude as possible to their weekend guests, forced to flee having endured a very punishing visit. An exciting re-imagining of Coward’s great play, his dialogue is placed front and centre, emphasising his wit, his satire, and ability to capture a cultural moment with impeccable style.

You are invited to join us for an evening of bliss and chaos!

📆 22nd - 25th April
