Playwright and actor Ryan O’Connor has written a modern, unapologetically queer take on Nöel Coward’s classic comedy “Hay Fever.” Entitled “The Cowards: A Marvelously Queer New Comedy,” the show is being developed by Tony Award winning producers Martian Entertainment, which is led by Carl D. White and Gregory Rae, and Graham Wetterhahn. An invitation-only industry reading will be directed by Michael Wilson and will take place at Pearl Studios in New York City on Dec. 6. The hope is to take the play to Broadway at some point.
