Jeeves Saves the Day

January 29 – March 1, 2020

Once again, Bertie finds himself suffering the slings and arrows of misfortune at the hands of his relatives, caught between the magisterial machinations of his fierce Aunt Agatha and the plaintive pleadings of his cousin Egbert. Throw in the imperious Sir Roderick Glossup (who fully expects his daughter Honoria to save Bertie from his ill-advised bachelorhood) and you’ve got another priceless predicament that cannot be overcome…unless one calls upon the redoubtable Jeeves to save the day.
