09A Noël Coward Hay Fever

Noël Coward

(5 estrellas; 2 reseñas)

A country house weekend goes haywire when the guests and their hosts play a game of romantic musical chairs. This witty masterpiece is filled with Coward’s biting commentary on his own profession.

Directed by John Rubinstein, the play features a talented cast including Tate Donovan, Arabella Field, Joy Gregory, Coryton Jeffrey Jones, Lynne Marta, Serena Scott Thomas, Carolyn Seymour, Eric Stoltz, and Simon Templeman.

Noël Coward himself said of 'Hay Fever', '[It] is considered by many to be my best comedy' and 'far and away one of the most difficult plays to perform that I have ever encountered.' While the play may not be action-packed, it certainly has plenty going on, as evidenced by its successful run of 337 performances when first staged on June 8, 1925.
