Wiltshire Creative with Octagon Theatre Bolton has announced the full cast and creative team for Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense.

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

This new production opens Wiltshire Creative’s autumn season on 5 September and runs until 23 September, with previews from 1 September, before completing performances at Octagon Theatre Bolton from 4 – 21 October.

Following on from the success of How the Other Half Loves, Wiltshire Creative will 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 19 October – 11 November. The season culminates with Dick Whittington, which runs from 25 November 2023 – 7 January 2024.

Patrick Warner (Jeeves)

Director Marieke Audsley said today, “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!”
