Musa, a sweet-natured immigrant cab driver and semi-practicing Muslim, and Sheri, a sassy American waitress, negotiate the twists and turns of love and cultural differences which draw them together as much as pull them apart.

Jeeves and Wooster in ‘Perfect Nonsense’

Wodehouse, and told in the comic style of our production of The Hound of the Baskervilles, don’t miss London’s Olivier Award Winner for Best New Comedy.
