description: All four members of the Bliss family have independently invited a guest for the weekend at their house near Maidenhead. The guests arrive only to find themselves alternately humiliated and embarrassed by their self-obsessed and self-dramatising hosts. As Coward himself wrote, 'Hay Fever is considered by many to be my best comedy'. It was first produced in 1925 and hailed as a technical masterpiece. It remains a classic comedy of bad manners.
