Hay Fever
One theatrical family invites four unsuspecting guests for the weekend.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
Each member of the Bliss family independently invites a guest to their country house, without warning anyone else. Retired actress Judith, novelist David and their adult children treat the arrivals as supporting players in their own private dramas, creating a weekend of flirtation, offence and social confusion for visitors who cannot understand the family's rules.
In the room
The comedy runs on brittle manners, theatrical posing and rapidly shifting romantic alliances, with the Bliss family's shared performance instinct making ordinary hospitality impossible.
Good fit if you like
country-house comedy, eccentric families, social embarrassment and characters performing for one another.
