HAY FEVER marks Christine Baranski’s West End debut and Richard E. Grant’s return to the West End stage after 20 years.
It’s LOATHSOME being looked after. Last year, Judith retired from her life-on-stage. Already, she misses the applause. Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family – reclusive novelist husband David and failure-to-launch children Sorrel and Simon – are too self-involved to be a good audience. So, Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses have a guest of their own arriving at the very same time. Completely unsuited to hosting and allergic to compromise, the house quickly erupts into a chaos of parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores.
Performances will run September 22 - December 12 with a press night on October 1. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at Hay Fever's website.
