Come on, Jeeves

Come On, Jeeves is a comedy co-written by Guy Bolton and PG Wodehouse. It was written in 1952 and toured the English provinces in the summer of 1954. Wodehouse adapted the play into the novel Ring for Jeeves, which was first published in April 1953, a year before the play reached production.

In the play, the young aristocrat Bill, Lord Towcester, cannot afford to maintain his large country house. He tries to solve his financial problems with the help of that most superb gentlemen's gentlemen, Jeeves, on loan from Bertie Wooster. Jeeves becomes butler and bookie's clerk to the impoverished Towcester, who practises turf accountancy.

The imperturbable Jeeves is able, in his own resourceful way, to rescue his lord from one scrape after another – but will he be able to retrieve the family fortune?
