A proper dose of British humour combined with lightning-fast quick changes won’t leave any eye dry

Based on the global phenomenon that was Jeeves and Wooster, this 2013 adaption by The Goodale Brothers celebrates the hilariously comical pair in their truest form.

Set in 1920s England, a whirlwind of eccentric characters and absurd situations leads Jeeves and Wooster through their wild adventures.

When haphazard Bertie Wooster wants to put up a play about the events at Totleigh Towers, he runs into a major issue; he only has two actors at his disposal. So, to tell a complex story, he and his intelligent valet Jeeves have to become incredibly creative! Together they navigate various predicaments, including mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and familial obligations.

Since its premiere, JEEVES & WOOSTER IN “PERFECT NONSENSE” has delighted audiences all over the world.

Based on the novel THE CODE OF THE WOOSTERS by P. G. Wodehouse, the play stays true to the original tone of the base material and catapults it–at the same time–onto the stages of today. A happening that should not be missed!

This clever PG Wodehouse tribute reproduces the manners of the Edwardian English upper classes, while cunningly sending them up
