Hay Fever by Noël Coward

Performance: October 9-11, 2025 (7:30 PM) - St. John's Arts & Culture Centre - Barbara Barrett Basement Theatre

Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, David Bliss, a novelist, and his wife, Judith, a retired actress, find quiet an impossible dream when their high-spirited children, Simon and Sorel, appear with guests of their own.

A houseful of drama waits to be ignited as misunderstandings and tempers flare. With Judith's new flame and David's newest literary “inspiration” keeping company as the children follow suit, the Bliss family lives up to its name as the “quiet weekend” comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale.

“Light, luminous and charming, and hilariously funny.” — New York Post.

“An evening of intoxicating escape.” — The New York Times.
