Thank You Jeeves is a the play/book for a Summer Comedy Theater written by P.G.Wodehouse. This is comedy in the Oscar Wilde sense - exotic, class conscious, lover-bound, self-reflexive, over-indulgent in its lingual precocity and ... dash it ->wonderfully entertaining. This consciously self-deprecating comic turn is not above using simple slapstick humour within the confines of speeches and tirades, or linguistic emotional displays of the highest order of Times Crossword Puzzlery.

And in this audio book edition at only $25 at Barnes and Noble, one finds a wonderful one-man play put on by readers and performer extraordinaire - Jonathan Cecil. The story is about a Bertram Worcester, an upper cruster of London origins who wreaks havoc with his playing of the banjolele. In turn the banjolele strikes back by inducing said Bertram Worcester having to endure great travails in the interest of preserving his right to play the banjolele very badly.

Unfortunately this audio book does not have a"live" rendition of Bertram's banjolele ministrations - but that is the only missing link in what is a tour de force performance of High Farce supremely rendered by Mr. Cecil's gung-ho one man show. Thanks again to the Port Hope Library for buying this swell - and I mean it in every positive sense of the word - audio book.
