HAY FEVER

At the Barn Theatre

Book now for the first production at the Barn Theatre of the famous comedy Hay Fever" by Noel Coward.

The Bliss family, ultra-bohemian, all totally selfish, have each invited a guest for the weekend without informing the others

BUT

Talented hosts need talented guests and the conventional guests find themselves hopelessly lost in the "games" played by the family.

Come and enjoy the best of Noel Coward comedies

Wednesday May 14 to Saturday May 17 at 8.pm

Tickets £8.00

The bar at the Barn is staffed by volunteers and more people are needed to help with this
