Jeeves & Wooster in 'Perfect Nonsense'

​

By The Goodale Brothers & PG Wodehouse

​

Directed by Keith Hutton

​​​

This is a play within a play. Bertie Wooster decides to stage a one-man play about his recent visit to Totleigh Towers. He quickly realises that he needs help and enlists the assistance of his trusty valet Jeeves and his Aunt Dahlia’s butler, Seppings.

When a perfectly delightful trip to the countryside to visit his friend Sir Watkyn Bassett takes a turn for the worse, Bertie Wooster is unwittingly called upon to play matchmaker, reconciling the affections of his host’s drippy daughter Madeleine Bassett, with his newt-fancying acquaintance Gussie Fink-Nottle. If Bertie can’t pull off the wedding of the season, he’ll be forced to abandon his cherished bachelor status and marry the ghastly girl himself.

Nine other characters are brought to life by Jeeves and Seppings, while Wooster plays himself throughout.​
