'Hay Fever'
by Noel Coward

venue

Guildhall

Dates

31st March - 4th April 1981

Director

Pat Laurie

Under the guise of 'Derby Shakespeare Society's Globe Players', a pseudonym used for non-Shakespearean productions for a time in the 1970s and 1980s, we presented Noel Coward's sophisticated comedy 'Hay Fever' at the Guildhall in 1981.

It had been the custom to perform plays by other authors under this name since 1977 but 'Hay Fever' marked the first time that a 'Globe Players' show was performed at the Guildhall.

We hope to be able to add more information and photographs from this production soon.
