Hay Fever is a comedic play written by Noel Coward, first performed in 1925. The play is set in the 1920s and follows the eccentric Bliss family, who live in a country house in England. The family consists of Judith, a retired actress, her husband David, a writer, and their two adult children, Simon and Sorel. The four of them are all artistic and self-absorbed, and they each invite a guest to stay with them for the weekend without informing the others. Chaos ensues as the guests arrive and are subjected to the family's bizarre and melodramatic behavior. The play is known for its witty dialogue, farcical situations, and satirical commentary on the upper-class society of the time. Coward's writing style is characterized by his use of rapid-fire dialogue and clever wordplay. Hay Fever has been adapted for film and television several times and remains a popular play in the modern theater repertoire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
