The following roles were cast in 2020 when the production was originally scheduled: Judith, David, Simon, and Jackie.
Available Roles: (All the characters are British. We will be working with a dialect coach.) Auditions will be readings from script.
Sorel - 19. She is graceful and pretty. But has an air of entitlement about her. She is the only Bliss who recognizes their abnormalities and tries to be more like real people and less like her mother. She does not succeed!
Clara - 50's. May have slight cockney or Irish accent - at least not as crisp British as others. She will treat the guests with a careless disdain and the Bliss family members with a definite casualness.
Sandy Tyrell - mid 20s. Very physically fit - he is a boxer. He has a naiveté about him and an excitement about being in Judith's presence.
Myra Arundel - late 30's - early 40's. Judith describes her as a vampire. While outwardly very socially correct, she craves the limelight that comes with being associated with people who are known.
Richard Greatham - Mid 30s - early 40's. Socially and politically correct but attracted to the wildness he sees first in Sorel and then in Judith.
Hay Fever is a comic play written by Noël Coward in 1924 and first produced in 1925. It is a cross between high farce and a comedy of manners.
Hay Fever is being performed through special arrangements with Concord Theatricals (
