Introduction by Noel Coward in 1933: Hay Fever is considered by many to
be my best comedy. Whether or not this assertion is true, posterity, if
it gives it a glance, will be able to judge with more detachment than I.
At any rate it has certainly proved to be a great joy to amateurs, owing,
I suppose, to the smallness of its cast, and the fact that it has one
set, which must lead them, poor dears, to imagine that it is easy to act.
This species of delusion being common to amateurs all over the world, no
word of mine shall be spoken, no warning finger of experience raised, to
discourage them, beyond the timorous suggestion that from the
professional standpoint, Hay Fever is far and away one of the most
difficult plays to perform that I have ever encountered.
I am very much attached to Hay Fever. I enjoyed writing it and producing
it, and I have frequently enjoyed watching it.
