About Hay Fever
We end our 2025 Summer Season with Hay Fever, by legendary British playwright Noël Coward. This luminous and entertaining comedy about the Bliss Family will be directed by Peterborough Players Artistic Director, Brendon Fox.
Set in an English country house on the River Thames, it blends over-the-top hijinks, slapstick, satire, and a comedy of manners to present a unique portrait of a wacky and endearing English family in the early 1920s. Each of the four members of the Bliss family has invited a guest to stay at the family estate for the weekend. This sets the stage for a series of raucous misunderstandings that only serve to underscore an unspoken but universal fact: There is no such thing as a normal family.
