Amateur staging of Noƫl Coward's comedy 'Hay Fever' by the Harrogate Dramatic Society, directed by Stuart Kellett.
The Harrogate Dramatic Society are bringing Noƫl Coward's Hay Fever to the Harrogate Theatre Main House from 6 to 8 May 2027, with Stuart Kellett directing. It's a three-night run, so you've got a few dates to choose from if you can't make the opening.
For those who haven't come across it, Hay Fever is one of Coward's comedies, and it centres on the Bliss family: Judith, a retired actress; her writer husband, David; and their two adult children, Simon and Sorel. The Blisses are a self-absorbed lot, and the play follows a weekend at their English country home when their own behaviour drives their guests to the brink of escape. It's a classic Coward setupāa small group of people trapped together in one house, with the comedy coming from the friction between them.
This is an amateur production, put on by the Harrogate Dramatic Society by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd. It's also staged in memory of the late Brian Foster, a great fan of Coward's work and a long-time supporter of the Harrogate Theatre, who both directed and performed there. That connection to the theatre's own history gives the run a bit of local weight beyond the play itself.
