The Texas Repertory Theatre Co., Houston's Uptown Classic Theatre, continues its 11th Anniversary "Emerging Visions" Season with a Noel Coward's sparkling romantic comedy Hay Fever, running through May 29th.

The eccentric Bliss family -- Judith, a recently retired actress, David, a self-absorbed novelist, and their two unconventional children -- live in a world where reality slides easily into fiction. Upon entering this world, their weekend guests are forced into close quarters with the four members of the host family, each one more eccentric than the last. Parlor games turn to rancor; romantic alliances split and reform with flippant ease, recalling at once the dry wit of Oscar Wilde and the carnivalesque atmosphere of A Midsummer Night's Dream. As Saturday evening climaxes into a clamor of melodrama, each of the invited guests begin to rue ever accepting an invitation from the inimitable Blisses. The comedic chaos ends only when the tortured visitors tip-toe out the door.

The Texas Repertory Theatre production of Hay Fever features Sally Burtenshaw, Lauren Dolk, Haley Hussey, Ian Hill, Joanna Hubbard and Texas Repertory Artistic Director Steven Fenley under the direction of Rachel Mattox.
