<b>"This 1925 comedy of manners that''s funny yet also unorthodox and unsettling... a celebration of abnormality and at the same time a disquieting study of both the pleasures and the pains of not being able to restrain oneself." - <i>Evening Standard</i></b>When four guests, all invited by different members of the Bliss family, arrive for a weekend at their country house near Maidenhead, they''re expecting a idyllic retreat. But this peaceful promise is quickly trounced when the self-absorbed eccentricities of the Blisses are trained on the guests, who leave the country mansion humiliated and embarrassed.First produced in 1925, <i>Hay Fever</i> is a technical masterpiece, seamlessly combining high farce with a comedy of manners, and delivering Coward his first major commercial success.This new edition is published in Methuen Drama''s iconic Modern Classics series to coincide with the 125th anniversary of Coward¿s birth and features a new introduction by Michael Billington.
