THE full cast and creative team behind the upcoming Wiltshire Creative production of Jeeves and Wooster has been announced. 

Marieke Audsley directs Luke Barton (Bertie Wooster), Patrick Warner (Jeeves) and Alistair Cope (Seppings) in Perfect Nonsense, which is coming to the Salisbury Playhouse in September.

The production will feature design by Olivia du Monceau with lighting design by Jane Lalljee and sound design by Matt Eaton.

Robert and David Goodale’s adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse’s The Code of the Woosters, premièred at Duke of York’s Theatre in 2013 and won the 2014 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.

Following a riotous weekend at country house Totleigh Towers, Bertie Wooster has a tale to tell. Forced to play matchmaker between his newt-fancying acquaintance Gussie Fink-Nottle and the girl of his dreams, Madeline Bassett, Bertie must also secure an elusive silver cow-creamer for his formidable Aunt Dahlia.

It’s a tall order, but fortunately he has the help of his loyal valet, the ever-reliable Jeeves, to navigate the many twists, turns and mishaps in this fast paced and dazzlingly inventive comedy.

This new production opens Wiltshire Creative’s autumn season on September 5 and runs until September 23, with previews from September 1.

Following on from the success of How the Other Half Loves, Wiltshire Creative will this season be increasing its work as a producing theatre, with three in-house productions on the Salisbury Playhouse Main Stage. Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense will be followed by The Girl on the Train - the thriller based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and DreamWorks’ film, running from October 19 to November 11.

The season culminates with Dick Whittington, which runs from November 25 to January 7, 2024.

Director Marieke Audsley said: “I'm thrilled to be working with Wiltshire Creative and the Octagon Theatre Bolton on this hilarious adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse's much-loved novel, The Code of the Woosters. We have a really exciting cast to bring Bertie, Jeeves, their friends (and foes!) to life, and a wonderful creative team to create the fabulous world of Berkeley Mansions and Totleigh Towers. Both dedicated Wodehouse fans and anyone new to Jeeves and Wooster can look forward to a fantastically farcical evening out!”
