Meet The Cast

Sympathy:  We the cast and crew of Hay Fever would like to extend our heart felt sympathies to Terry Fleming, and to the rest of the Fleming family on the passing of Daniel Fleming, Terry's father, last Friday March 5th.  Terry was originally cast in Hay Fever in the part of Richard Greatham and had to step aside due to his fathers condition.
God bless you Terry and the entire Fleming family.  You are all in our prayers. 

The synopsis:  The Bliss family is ultra Bohemian. Mother is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of every scene and father is a novelist.  The daughter and son are handsome and ill mannered. One weekend all announce they are expecting a guest:  mother has invited an athletic boxer who is in love with her, Sorel a diplomat, Simon an intense young woman and David a shy young flapper (a type he is studying for a novel).  The guests receive an unusual and rude reception from this kooky British family.  Soon mother is paired off with the diplomat, Sorel with the boxer, Simon with the flapper, and father with his son's young woman guest.  Dramatizing for all it is worth, Judith first fears she must tell her husband about her romance, then realizes her daughter is younger and more attractive to young men so she enacts a scene of noble sacrifice, and, noticing her husband's flirtation, she follows with a poor unhappy wife scene.  The family is used to such displays, but the guests are mortified!
Yes...the British have hysterically dysfunctional families too!! 

Hay Fever is one of Noel Coward's funniest comedy hits!!
