"Wodehouse In Wonderland" 

By Cahoot Theatre Company

Derby Theatre - Main Auditorium 


P.G. Wodehouse or Plum as he is known to his nearest and dearest was trying to write the latest installment of Jeeves and Wooster. But the biographer, his wife, his daughter, and even his two Pekingese have other ideas!

Based on the life and writings of P.G. Wodehouse, William Humbler's play set in the 1950s takes us into the author's New York State home. 

This show starred Robert Daws recognized from Tuppy Glossop in Jeeves and Wooster. He delivered the show really well and put so much effect into this production that made the audience laugh.


I thought his vocals were great as I was not really expecting any singing in this production. This is storytelling but on his own on the stage. This production is incredible and in some parts, it was sad and emotional.   

Directed by Robin Hereford, I thought it was a pretty good production because I really enjoyed seeing something that I haven't seen before. The quality of the show was fantastic and the lighting and sound were just perfect for me.

I haven't seen something like this before however, for me the key thing is to be able to put on a play that not many people have seen before. There was a kitchen, a desk, a chair, a bookcase, and a little working space with a telephone. it was designed by Lee Newby.


If you like drama, singing, and storytelling this show is for you to be able to learn some history of his life and see his journey of becoming a writer.

Altogether, I would rate this production show with 4 stars.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Wodehouse In Wonderland" is at Derby Theatre until Wednesday 15 February 2023.

As she  discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others. Wow! What can I say about last night's performance of "Legally Blonde The Musical"? It's a musical that I haven't seen before and can I just say it was one of the best shows I have ever seen from Musicality as last year I saw " Urinetown" and I was impressed with the top-quality performance. It was an absolutely amazing show. What a great opening to the original song called "Omigod You Guys" which made me smile. Having all the cast come on stage was wonderful, especially the LIVE Band! Liv Reid who plays  - (Elle Woods)   S hould be very proud of herself and I thought she smashed it...
