Noel Coward's Hay Fever – Ilfracombe, North Devon
If you thought the dysfunctional family was a recent invention, see the monstrous, theatrical and ultra-Bohemian 1920s Bliss family in action after they discover they have all invited guests to the family home for the weekend, with each being promised the Japanese room!
Welcome to Hay Fever, Noel Coward's sparkling masterpiece, which, although written in only three days, he regarded as his best comedy.

Studio Theatre's production is directed by Paula Morante with performances at Studio Theatre, Ilfracombe College at 7.45pm from Wednesday 28th February to Friday 2nd March 2007.
Extra date: by popular demand an extra performance is being stage at Manor Hall, Berrynarbor at 7.45pm at Manor Hall, Berrynarbor. Tickets from Berrynarbor Post Office or on the door.
We are pleased to welcome new members to this production who join some of our well-known actors:
- Judith Bliss – Su Scott Goldstone
- David Bliss – Alan Bailey
- Sorel Bliss – Fenella Hinton
- Simon Bliss – Sam Thomas
- Myra Arundel – Marge Ash
- Richard Greatham – Tony Parker
- Jackie Coryton – Sara Pruce
- Sandy Tyrell – Darren Gosling
- Clara – Julie Moore
Mr and Mrs Bliss both have their public admirers who enable them to recall their past successes: she for her stage performances and he for his novel writing. This atmosphere of self-absorption and artistic adulation has had an effect on their son and daughter, now in their early twenties, who are confident and charming to those they like, but direct and rude to those they don't.
Be amazed at the way the family and guests face the situation, fraught with misunderstandings, chaos and hilarity. As the bewildered guests are subjected to one outrageous ordeal after another, will they ever manage to escape?
Tickets are priced £6 and are available from Alan Jackson Shoe Repairer in Ilfracombe High Street or from Berrynarbor Post Office for the Manor Hall performance, by calling Anne Bacon on 01271 882193 or emailing drama@studiotheatreonline.org.uk. Or pay on the door.
