Hay Fever by Noël Coward (Premium e-Reader Edition) Comedy of Manners and High Farce • Social Comedy
A Masterclass in High Farce and Spectacular Bad Manners Before modern reality television exposed family chaos to the world,
Noël Coward enchanted West End audiences by skewering the self-absorbed eccentricities of the elite. Hay Fever is a brilliantly crafted, lighthearted comedy that strips away traditional social niceties to reveal a family that simply cannot stop treating real life like a theatrical stage play.
As the weekend progresses, the completely normal guests are ignored, paired off with the wrong people, and emotionally manipulated for the hosts' personal amusement.
Tempers flare, romantic alliances shatter in seconds, and the visitors quickly realize that their only hope of survival is to sneak away unnoticed while the Blisses are locked in another spectacular family argument.
It remains a deeply fresh, delightfully heartless piece of early 20th-century literature that continues to leave readers laughing out loud.
