Hay Fever

Always a Festival favorite, Dublin’s inimitable Gate Theatre returns to Charleston with Noël Coward’s Hay Fever, a delicious send-up of bohemian eccentrics that has been called "one of the most perfectly engineered comedies of the century" by The Times (London). Meet the Blisses: Judith, the aging star actress mother; David, the self-absorbed novelist father; and their two adult children, Simon and Sorel. When each family member invites a guest to the country home for the weekend, the clan’s outrageous antics alternately infuriate and astound their hapless visitors. Director Patrick Mason makes this witty and stylish farce the perfect light entertainment for a springtime evening.
