Finally saw Hay Fever last evening. I got the impression that SFF was giving away lots of tickets. Can't complain about our seats: row L of the stalls (we moved to row K in the second half). It was nice bumping into and chatting with bevvy and 5rannoch, who were sitting 3 rows in front of us.

Regarding the play, it was amusing and the acting was really good. Tbh, I only recognised one of the actors (she appears in the series Peep Show and Rev).

I went to see Happy New on Sunday. Superb acting and witty dialogue throughout - highly recommended

Saw Hayfever last night at the Noel Coward. It was fabulous, great cast and design and it seemed to go incredibly quickly, which is always a sign that you've enjoyed a show. We had seats in row P of the stalls, so no complaints at all. If you get the chance, go and see it, you'll be glad you did!!

Yes I have. Reviews haven't been overwhelmingly great, but if you want to make up your own mind there's some ticket deals out there at the moment such as:
