Summary: "Hay Fever: A Light Comedy in Three Acts" by Noël Coward is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. This comedy revolves around the interactions of a spirited family, the Blisses, who invite guests to their home over a weekend, leading to humorous misunderstandings and a chaotic atmosphere. The main characters include Judith Bliss, a once-celebrated actress, her two grown children Sorel and Simon, and their unexpected visitors, which set the stage for unfolding comedic tension. At the start of the play, the audience is introduced to the Bliss family through lively banter between Sorel and Simon as they prepare for the arrival of guests. Their mother, Judith, is seen admiring her garden and discussing her desire to return to the stage, indicating her restless spirit. As Sorel expresses a crush on a visitor named Richard Greatham, tension builds over the various dynamics and past relationships among the characters. The chaotic household is further compounded by Judith's flirtation with a younger man, Sandy Tyrell, who is also present for the weekend. This rich tapestry of comedic misunderstandings, quirky family dynamics, and romantic entanglements promises an entertaining exploration of social conventions and the complexities of family life.
