'Jeeves at Sea' to premier at Mayslake
Jeeves and Bertie embark on a new adventure when First Folio Theatre presents the Chicago premiere of the comedy "Jeeves at Sea" at Mayslake Peabody Estate, 31st Street and Route 83, in Oak Brook.
The show opens Saturday, Jan. 30, and runs through Sunday, Feb. 28, with previews Wednesday through Friday, Jan. 27-29.
Show times are 8 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. There will also be 3 p.m. shows Thursdays, Feb. 11, 18 and 25, and 4 p.m. shows Saturdays, Feb. 20 and 27.
Directed by Jeff Award nominee Alison C. Vesely, the stars of First Folio's productions of "Jeeves in Bloom" and "Jeeves Takes a Bow" will reprise their roles in "Jeeves at Sea," with Jim McCance as Jeeves and Christian Gray as Bertie.
"Jeeves at Sea" is the fourth installment of Margaret Raether's adaptations of the stories of P.G. Wodehouse.
On board a yacht anchored in Monte Carlo, the featherbrained Bertie Wooster finds himself once more in the soup, caught between the romantic intentions of the mischievous Lady Stella and the stern Miss Minerva. Throw in twin brothers Percy and Alfred Crumpworth, and you have a predicament that may stump even the redoubtable Jeeves.
Tickets range from $29 to $39 and preview tickets are $22. Season subscriptions and individual tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at (630) 986-8067 or visiting www.firstfolio.org.
