Hay Fever
It’s LOATHESOME 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.

Pleasantly surprised.Took time Took time to get into 'Noel Coward'frame of mine. Seemed slow to start, but once I got the gist of the scenario it was laughter from them on.Excellent acting from all actors, but the female lead was the mainstay to the plot.

A good laugh Christine Baranski was good. Excellent comic timing and had me in stitches. Richard E Grant was very funny. The cast worked really well together and I'm glad I spent a fortune on the tickets because we had a great view. I managed to get lovely photos of the cast when they took their bow. And what made the evening so lovely was the cast taking the time to sign our programmes and take photos.

Excellent amusing show Very enjoyable amusing play of the old style. Christine Boranski is a joy, too bad we haven’t seen her acting in the West End before now.

Noël Coward’s Must Should you wish to be entertained for an afternoon you must go and see the play. It’s so much fun and of course the script is exceptional, the acting is superb combined with stunning set and costumes. It is a MUST whilst in London, you will giggle the whole way through!

Excellent.. but herby fag smoke in my eyes and throat was a distraction ! Only herby fag smoke distracts from this top class show! Avoid the front rows but if you miss this and the stellar cast you will regret for years to come! 99/100

Delightful ! British theatre at its best. Christine Baranski and Richard E Grant’s performances in this Noel Coward classic are not to be missed. Simply delectable.

Totally farcical Light hearted stupidity of the arrogant, privileged m
gentry.

Noel Coward at his sparkling best We saw the second preview night so it was a little off pace but is going to grow into itself. Fabulous set, sparkling dialogue and quintessential Noel Coward bite. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Christine Baranski Disappointing Everyone particularly Baranski couldn’t be heard from Row P. They should have been properly amplified (so many speakers at footlights and under balcony). Pacing sluggish; energy very low. Baranski so underplayed (director’s fault?). We thought this was going to be the highlight of our London visit.

A charming bagatelle Delightfully acted and staged, this bit of fluff still charms.
