Olivier Award-winning comedy based on P.G. Wodehouse, with Tom Rosenthal as Bertie Wooster and Adrian Scarborough as Jeeves.
Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense comes to Milton Keynes Theatre on 30 March, as part of its 2027 UK tour. It's a stage adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse's 1938 novel The Code of the Woosters, written specifically for the theatre by Robert and David Goodale. The production holds an Olivier Award, having won Best New Comedy at the 2014 awards when it first debuted in the West End.
The plot centres on the idle rich Bertie Wooster, who stages a one-man play about his time at the country home Totleigh Towers. His butler, Jeeves, steps in to help with costume and set design, and ends up playing most of the other characters. It's a dialogue-heavy show that stays true to Wodehouse's particular style, so the comedy comes from the writing as much as the performance.
Two familiar faces take the lead. Tom Rosenthal, best known as Jonny from Friday Night Dinner, plays the gloriously hapless Bertie. Opposite him is Adrian Scarborough, a two-time Olivier Award winner with credits in Gavin & Stacey, Killing Eve and The King's Speech, who plays the unflappable valet. The production is directed by Phillip Breen and produced by ATG Productions.
