Chaos and comedy
Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense was written for the stage by Robert and David Goodale in 2013, based on the 1938 novel The Code of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse. The play won an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy when it transferred to the West End in 2014, starring Matthew Macfadyen and Stephen Mangan.
In classic P.G. Wodehouse style, groups can expect timeless British humour, mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, spectacular muddles and a colourful cast of wonderfully eccentric characters.
