EXPECT a comedy of very bad manners when RAODS present Noël Coward's Hayfever at The Plaza in Romsey next week.
Welcome to the 1920s English country home of the eccentric Bliss family. Judith Bliss, once glittering star of the London stage, now in early retirement, is still enjoying life with more than a little high drama and the occasional big scene.
To spice her weekend up, Judith invites a young suitor to join her in the country. However, her novelist husband, David, and her two free-spirited children, Simon and Sorel, have had the same idea for themselves and any hope for private flirtation disappears as the family’s guests begin to arrive.
The after-dinner parlour games descend into a masterly series of misalliances as the theatrical family engages in giddy mind games at the expense of their innocent prey.
Hayfever runs from Tuesday to Saturday.
Tickets from plazatheatre.com or 01794 512987.
