Hay Fever Auditions

Hay Fever

by Noel Coward

We are currently auditioning for a production of Hay Fever, directed by Bev Avis-Dakin.

Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, David Bliss, a novelist and his wife Judith, a retired actress, find that an impossible dream when their high-spirited children Simon and Sorel appear with guests of their own. A housefull of drama waits to be ignited as misunderstandings and tempers flare. With Judith's new flame and David's newest literary 'inspiration' keeping company as the children follow suit, the Bliss family lives up to its name as the 'quiet weekend' comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale worthy of Feydeau.

Hayfever was written in 1925 by Noel Coward and will be set at its original time. Don’t worry if you don’t like any of the characters – Coward didn’t either!

Characters:

David Bliss- Judiths husband. Playing age 45-60. Also superficial and self focused

Simon Bliss- Son of Judith and David. Playing age 21. A would-be artist, shares his parents self-absorption.
