                    The British are Coming in Wooster Sauce

                    The world media has been going crazy over all things British, with the frenzy over the wedding of Meaghan and Harry, the popularity of the TV series Downton Abbey, and now Jeeves and Wooster at the Fringe! I can’t hold back my love of this show!

                    Jeeves is a well-known character created by P.G. Wodehouse, in a series of stories skewering the British upper class written from 1915 to 1974. The script for “Wooster Sauce” has been adapted from these stories by John D. Huston and Kenneth Brown into a one-hour confection of wordplay and dry English humour. The consummate actor John D. Huston plays all of the roles in the one-hour play through variations in gestures, accents, and body language, using only one costume (okay, actually two) with a chair and a screen as the only props. Much of the show is dialogue and the accents and mannerisms of each character are beautifully crafted by Huston. His fine performance is matched only by the virtuosity of the writing, and the character of Jeeves has some of the greatest lines, such as advising Wooster: “You would not enjoy Nietzsche, sir. He is fundamentally unsound.”

                    Such clever writing and consummate acting deserve a wide audience. You won’t want to miss this show.

                    In the words of P.G. Wodehouse from Something Fresh: “As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.” John D. Huston in “Wooster Sauce” does just that.
