This month we will be reading a play
based on the Jeeves & Wooster stories of P.G. Wodehouse, so
silliness and mayhem are ensured! We last read this in 2018, and if memory serves we had fun.
To make it slightly more confusing
the play that we are reading has a plot which revolves around Bertie
Wooster deciding to stage a one-man show revolving around his recent
experiences at Totleigh Towers, only to discover on the evening that, in
typical Wooster fashion, nothing has gone to plan and the show is not
ready to be staged. In desperation, he enlists Jeeves and another valet,
Seppings, to help him stage the production, with Bertie as himself and
both Jeeves and Seppings playing multiple characters. Both in the story
Bertie is narrating and the play as it is being performed, events
quickly spiral out of control, prompting Jeeves to step in to make sure
all ends well.
Still with me?
Although a cast of 3, they perform a host of other roles - which we will not replicate!
As everything is explained, sort of, in the play I will not give a breakdown of the characters here!
I hope you will enjoy it!
