Margaret Raether first encountered P. G. Wodehouse in the form of a battered secondhand paperback of The Code of the Woosters when she was in college. This, as Bogart once famously observed, was “the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” A founding member of Artists’ Ensemble Theatre, most of Ms. Raether’s plays have debuted either at Artists’ Ensemble or at New American Theater, where she spent two seasons as Playwright in Residence. Her plays are pounded out late at night while peering around a cat that likes to sit in front of her monitor.

Ms. Raether’s trilogy of P. G. Wodehouse adaptations have been described as “bright and engaging as a garden party in May” (Chicago Tribune), “as dry as a well-made martini and equally potent” (Herald Tribune), and her writing “wonderfully captures the late British humorist’s renowned wit” (Seattle Times).

P.G. Wodehouse [Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse] KBE was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. His creations include Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred, and Mr Mulliner. P. G. Wodehouse was born in Guildford in 1881, and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals including Punch(opens in new tab) and the Globe(opens in new tab). He married in 1914. As well as his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and at one time had five musicals running simultaneously on Broadway. His time in Hollywood also provided much source material for fiction. At the age of ninety-three, in the New Year’s Honours List of 1975(opens in new tab), he received a long-overdue knighthood, only to die on St Valentine’s Day some forty-five days later.
