CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
JEEVES IN BLOOM
adapted by Margaret Raether
Director: Angie Flynn-McIver
Production Dates: 7 Week Contract – 1st Rehearsal: 1/6/26, Previews: 1/28/26, Opens: 1/31/26, Closes: 2/22/26
BETRAM “BERTIE” WILBERFORCE WOOSTER
he/him, 40s
An affluent bachelor with a tendency to get himself into tricky situations. Simply has not grown up and has little understanding of the world around him. Self-centered but very likable and harmless.
JEEVES
he/him, 50s-60s
Bertie’s unflappable valet. Level-headed. Always thinking 5 steps ahead. Long suffering but discreet and flawlessly mannered.
DAHLIA TRAVERS
she/her, 50s – 60s
Bertie’s formidable aunt, a woman of strong opinions and stronger voice who combines genuine affection for her nephew with exasperation at his antics. She’s accustomed to getting her way and isn’t shy about expressing her views with characteristic directness.
THOMAS PORTARLINGTON TRAVERS
he/him, 50s – 60s
Dahlia’s husband, a mostly calm gentleman, more interested in personal pursuits than the dramas that unfold around him. Enamored with the superb dishes Anatole prepares.
AUGUSTUS “GUSSIE” FINKNOTTLE
he/him, 40s – 50s
An earnest, scholarly gentleman whose expertise in newts far exceeds his confidence in social situations. His shy nature and tendency toward romantic anxiety make him both endearing and prone to requiring rescue from awkward predicaments.
MADELEINE BASSET
she/her, 30s – 40s
A romantic who views the world through a lens of poetry and sentiment, finding deep meaning in nature’s smallest details. Her ethereal worldview and delicate sensibilities often put her at odds with the more practical concerns of those around her.
ANATOLE
Any age, any gender
Highly skilled, highly temperamental French chef, employed by Dahlia Travers. Often referred to as “God’s gift to the gastric juices,” speaks limited English and threatens violence at the least hint of culinary criticism.
