Jeeves Takes A Bow delivers delightful deliberations between friends
Jeeves Takes A Bow is being put on by the Taproot Theatre Company. Adapted for the stage by Margaret Roether from the “Jeeves and Wooster” stories by PG Wodehouse, this hilarious performance is directed by Scott Nolte.
Oscar Wilde, acclaimed playwright and poet, wrote A Woman of no Importance in 1892, as a satire of the Victorian upper class and as a social commentary on marriage and the roles of women. It was, however, the least successful of his plays, because of its lack of original subject matter and its occasionally unnecessary lengthiness. Yet there is value to find in all of Wilde’s plays, including a playfulness amongst social critique and themes that are still relevant to this day. With a stellar cast, stage, and music production, Karen Lund – producing artistic director at Taproot Theatre –attempts to bring about “a story that makes us both laugh and think”.
