2025 marks the 100th anniversary of 𝐻𝑎𝑦 𝐹𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟's first production. Coward wrote the play after hiding himself away in the country for three days and dashing off a story about a dizzying weekend of social catastrophe. The story takes place at the country house of a retired actress and her overly artistic family who strike fear in the hearts of their innocent guests.
