EDITORS COMMENTS
Hay Fever," a witty and clever comedy play by Noel Coward, made its debut at the Quarry Theatre in Cambridge in 1925, before transferring to the Ambassadors Theatre in London's West End. The photograph captures the charismatic cast of this "clean play," as described by The Sketch magazine, during their time at the Ambassadors Theatre. Marie Tempest, a renowned actress of the time, brilliantly portrayed Judith Bliss, a bohemian ex-actress, in this production. Her husband, David Bliss, was played by Graham Browne, who brought a charming and sophisticated touch to the role. The cast also included Hilda Moore as Myra Arundel, Anne Trever as Sorel Bliss, Robin Ervine as Simon Bliss, Patrick Sandans as Jack Cavenish, Minnie Rayner as Clara Novak, and Susans as the maid. The photograph captures the essence of the play's humor and the actors' ability to bring Coward's characters to life. The cast members are dressed in elegant attire, reflecting the play's sophisticated setting, and their expressions suggest the complexities of their characters and the intricacies of the relationships between them. "Hay Fever" was a critical and commercial success, and this photograph serves as a testament to the talent and charm of its cast. Coward's clever dialogue and insightful commentary on the absurdities of the upper class continue to resonate with audiences today, making "Hay Fever" a timeless classic in the world of theatre. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of theatre in the 1920s and the talented individuals who brought Coward's words to life on stage.
