Plays by this author
  • Jeeves in Bloom
  • Margaret Raether first encountered P.G. Wodehouse in the form of a battered secondhand paperback of The Code of the Woosters when she was in college. This, as Bogart once famously observed, was "the beginning of a beautiful friendship." A founding member of Artists' Ensemble Theatre, most of Ms. Raether's plays have debuted either at AE or at New American Theater, where she spent two seasons as Playwright in Residence. Her plays are pounded out late at night while peering around a cat that likes to sit in front of her monitor.
    Jeeves in Bloom adapted by Margaret Raether
    from the stories of P.G. Wodehouse

    The peaceful English countryside may never be the same after Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves, pay a visit. What starts as a plan to pair tongue-tied, amphibian-loving Augustus Fink-Nottle and fanciful, poetry-loving Madeline Basset quickly goes awry. Soon, Bertie is fending off Madeline's amorous advances, reluctantly participating in an attempted burglary, and fleeing attacks from a homicidal French chef. With the stakes this high, the solution must lie with the one and only Jeeves!

    Reviews
    "...about as delightful a respite as one could hope for. Margaret Raether has brought the old gang back together in Wodehouse's fantasy world, where one knows everything will work out, because Jeeves knows best."
    --Chicago Tribune
