Jeeves Takes Charge

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Transporting us back to an age where work is unthinkable and keeping in with your relatives is of paramount importance for the gentleman of leisure, Harrison plays 22 roles including the amiable, brainless, goofy man-about town, Bertie Wooster, and his bachelor valet, the dourly efficient, unusually intelligent, Jeeves. Jeeves' attempts to keep his young master unmarried and himself in employment, whilst Wooster loses both his fiancee, Lady Florence Craye, and a sudden desire to have children around the house due to Jeeves' cunning. What follows is a masterly piece of comic timing and multi-faceted mimicry highlighting the bright, brittle high society life of the 1920's.
