A bit about the show:
Based on the global phenomenon that was Jeeves and Wooster, this 2013 adaption by The Goodale Brothers celebrates the hilariously comical pair in their truest form. Set in 1920s England, a whirlwind of eccentric characters and absurd situations leads Jeeves and Wooster through their wild adventures.
When haphazard Bertie Wooster wants to put up a play about the events at Totleigh Towers, he runs into a major issue; he only has two actors at his disposal. So, to tell a complex story, he and his intelligent valet Jeeves have to become incredibly creative!
Based on the novel THE CODE OF THE WOOSTERS by P. G. Wodehouse, the play stays true to the original tone of the base material and catapults it–at the same time–onto the stages of today. A happening that should not be missed!
A bit about the English Theatre:
Founded in 1976 by two Americans, it is now one of the oldest private English-language theatres in Germany! By hiring a diverse and cast from London, the theatre brings brilliant West End quality directly to Hamburg to star in British and American plays. Learn more here: https://eth-hamburg.de/
