`By Jeeves’ cleverly intertwines the twin English passions for amateur theatrics and bumbling silliness in a tale of escalating chaos and labyrinthine high jinx. Bertie Wooster is looking forward to enlivening a charity benefit at a church hall when his beloved banjo mysteriously goes missing. Assisted by the unflappable Jeeves and members of the fundraising committee, Bertie instead entertains the audience with an improvised account of how he and two chums all got their names and identities confused in the course of one riotously raucous weekend. The evening unfolds to the accompaniment of some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most vivacious and sprightly music, making `By Jeeves’ the perfect family entertainment.

Pirates take to the Zenith this weekend!

"THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE"
Gilbert & Sullivan’s perennial favourite "The Pirates of Penzance" opens this Friday at the Zenith Theatre in Chatswood!
Take a rollicking band of orphan-friendly pirates, a bumbling force of policemen, a Scottish pattering Major-General, a lovesick piratical nurserymaid and a gaggle of beautiful maidens, mix them with a leap year paradox and some of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most endearing music and you have the makings of a great night out!
