Jeeves Takes A Bow at First Folio Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...The third time is a charmer for First Folio and P.G. Wodehouse, -- but this time there's a "Bullets Over Broadway" twist. In "Jeeves Takes a Bow," (adapted by Margaret Raether) Bertie Wooster, the quintessential Upper-Class Twit of the Year, and his long-suffering manservant, Jeeves, are holed up in a swanky Manhattan apartment in 1932, far away from Bertie's dragon-lady Aunt Agatha and her ceaseless imprecations against her nephew's shiftless ways."

"...With our current mode of abbreviated words in newspapers and magazines and texting speak, enjoy the full British precision of the English language in Jeeves, and awaken your ears to its beauty and complexity. Jeeves provides not only exact language, but the most colorful sophisticated insults…a lost art from a bygone era. Even the novel slang and expressions like “a sticky wicket” prove amusing. ”Jeeves Takes a Bow” is all silly fun with little social commentary…a wonderfully comedic escape from our complex day-to-day concerns. We need more Jeeves!"

"...For almost two hours, we watch these characters get involved in each other's lives. In the middle of the second act, there is a musical play within a play ( an adorable little comedy) where the truth becomes revealed and all the loose ends are tied up, by Jeeves, of course and Ruby ends up with the real Binky, Knuckles with Vivienne, who has let her hair down and become quite the "hip" lady and Bertie is left alone, but with Jeeves to guide his bachelor life. While this show is not as wild as, let's say "lend Me A Tenor', it is funny and fun filled and will certainly take your mind off any stress of the day. During Intermission, you will be served cookies and tea ( how very English) and you can stroll through a wonderful gallery of art."
