To open our final season, First Folio brings back our very first adventure of Bertie and Jeeves from 2008. The pleasure-seeking and marriage-averse Bertie is desperately trying to avoid his dragon-lady Aunt Agatha or “she who chews broken bottles; she who kills rats with her teeth.” In tow with Bertie’s aunt is Gertrude Winkleswoth-Bode, the society special Agatha has chosen to tame her wayward nephew. However, when Bertie’s impecunious pal, Eustace Bassington-Bassington becomes smitten with Gertie, Jeeves sees a pathway to avoid disaster…providing they can also avoid a battle-ax Scottish uncle, Sir Rupert Watlington-Pipps. Filled with all of the sly word play and manic antics you’ve come to expect, this is the pitch-perfect Jeeves story we all need to escape the doldrums of our own lives.
