Winning the 2014 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, Jeeves and Wooster follows effervescent, aristocratic fool Bertie Wooster and his short-sightedly dutiful valet Jeeves. When a weekend at the country house takes a turn for the worse, Wooster is called upon to play matchmaker, but must also steal a silver cow creamer from Totleigh Towers. Luckily the utterly dependable Jeeves is there to prevent Bertie from making a fool of himself in front of a selection of Wodehouse’s best-known characters, including Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Sir Watkin Bassett, Dahlia Travers, Roderick Spode and Constable Oates!
