I dare you not to laugh — to laugh uproariously at the high jinks on the stage, as Jeeves the valet rescues Bertie Wooster and his upper-class friends and relations from the ridiculous situations they create for themselves in this jazz age comedy set in the late 1920’s. JEEVES IN BLOOM, Margaret Raether’s stage adaptation from works of fiction by the prolific P.G. Wodehouse, wonderfully captures the late British humorist’s renowned wit. The lovably loopy Bertie Wooster always manages to get into socially precarious situations. This time around he finds himself dodging romantic entanglements with a starry-eyed young woman, eluding an enraged chef wielding a meat cleaver, and begrudgingly helping his Aunt Dahlia to commit a burglary. Thank heaven Jeeves is there to save the day!
