What is the author's tone in Hay Fever by Noel Coward?

There is a farcical tone to this play. Hay Fever employs many elements of farce, a comic theatrical form in which exaggerated characters find themselves in improbable situations and engage in wordplay and physical humor intended to provoke simple hearty laughter from the audience. Although Coward's play carries a bit more social weight than a traditional farce, it does make use of farcical word games and broadly drawn characters.
