By Jeeves
Bertie Wooster is looking forward to enlivening a charity benefit at a church hall when his beloved banjo mysteriously goes missing. Assisted by the unflappable Jeeves, Bertie instead entertains the audience with an improvised account of how he and two chums - with, as one song puts it, "a collective I.Q. of around 42" - all got their names and identities confused in the course of one riotously raucous weekend. Based on the characters created by P. G. Wodehouse, and cleverly intertwining the twin English passions for amateur theatrics and bumbling silliness, 'By Jeeves' takes us back to a time when flirty girls pursued men, not careers, and where good breeding took precedence over brainpower.?
