Hay Fever

The eccentric Bliss family — Judith, a recently retired actress, David, a self-absorbed novelist, and their two unconventional children — live in a world where reality slides easily into fiction. Upon entering this world, the weekend guests — a proper diplomat, a shy flapper, an athletic boxer, and a fashionable sophisticate — are thrown into melodramatic scenes wherein their hosts profess emotions and react to situations that do not really exist. The comedic chaos ends only when the tortured visitors tip-toe out the door. Cleverly constructed and slightly cynical, this entertaining romp will be directed by rising British director Christopher Luscombe.
