Jeeves Saves the Day*

By Margaret Raether

(based on stories by P.G. Wodehouse)

Directed by Joe Foust

Previews January 29 – January 31

February 1 – March 1, 2020

Running time: 2 hours with one intermission

The indefatigable Jeeves and his balmy employer Bertie Wooster are back!
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 and the fiery chanteuse Red Hot Maisie Dawson, and you’ve got another precarious predicament that cannot be overcome…unless one calls upon the redoubtable Jeeves to save the day.
