HAY FEVER by NOËL COWARD
Set in the glamour of the 1920s, this comedy is Noël Coward at its finest – razor-sharp and dry as a martini! The Bohemian Bliss family is gathered for a relaxing weekend in the country – or that’s what their unsuspecting guests are looking forward to. But instead of afternoon tea and tennis, the achingly polite visitors stumble upon family feuds, tantrums, outlandish behavior, and old resentment.
A delightfully madcap comedy of bad manners! Watch a weekend getaway spiral into mayhem as tempers flare and eccentricities reign supreme!

The balance of $750.00 per person will be due when final payment to cruise company is made in March 2019 (next year)
Available number of cabins is limited to 13 therefore this cruise will be on a 'first come - first served' basis based on when your deposit check is received. Thus get your check for $250/person in ASAP.
