AN OUTDOOR production of Hayfever by Noël Coward is entertaining audiences this weekend in Basingstoke at a venue described as ‘Basingstoke’s best kept secret’.

The classic comedy play by The Proteans is held in The Walled Garden, at Down Grange Sports Complex, in Pack Lane until Sunday, July 28.

Audiences can expect plenty of irreverent fun, silly songs, crazy costumes and the perfect summer evening with friends, set in a beautiful blooming rose garden.

(Image: Proteus Theatre) Coward wrote this brilliantly effervescent comedy of bad manners in three days when he was just 24. A fabulous, sparkling tale of a weekend in an English country house with a family of bohemians, it has lost none of its charm since its first staging in 1924.

Hayfever has something for everyone; a delirious roller-coaster of a play, encased in wit, comedy and plenty of satire.

Attendees are encouraged to pack a picnic and prosecco and enjoy the classic comedy with a unique twist from The Proteans. 

Shows are at 5pm on Saturday, July 27 and 2pm on Sunday, July 28.
