Review: Jeeves Takes Charge @ Charing Cross Theatre

Sam Harrison is unbelievable Tucked away under cobbled arches and decked out with the traditional touches of an English theatre—red carpeting, wooden bar and a lovely, white piano—Charing Cross Theatre seems a suitable home for the short new run of Jeeves Takes Charge, writes Melina Block.  Based on P.G.
