Review of Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense
By Phil Willmott Wednesday, July 23 2014, 07:58
A cast change in the relatively long running West End comedy JEEVES AND WOOSTER in PERFECT NONSENSE allowed me to finally see what all the fuss is about. I’m happy to confirm that it’s as laugh out loud funny as everyone says and you should take anybody you know who could benefit from two hours of undemanding, hilarious fun.
Jeeves and Wooster were the creations of the prolific P.G Wodehouse whose comic novels have remained top sellers ever since he penned them in the 1930s. They’re his most popular characters: an ingenious and po-faced butler (Jeeves) and his silly-arse master (Bertie) who the man servant has to rescue from all sorts of light hearted peril. The TV series starring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie as the pair is almost as well loved as the books and on both sides of the Atlantic.
