Psmith, Journalist at City Lit Theater Company

City Lit returns to the work of one of its favorite authors, this time with Terry McCabe’s original adaptation of Wodehouse’s 1915 novel about Psmith, a Cambridge University student who takes over a small newspaper while on summer vacation in New York City. Soon the sleepy weekly has shifted its editorial focus from household tips to exposés of slumlords and promotion of boxers. Psmith, who added the silent “P” to his surname to distinguish himself from other Smiths, is one of Wodehouse’s most beloved characters, appearing in four novels. Something of a dandy, he wears a monocle, is an articulate and witty speaker and has an amazing ability to escape unharmed from the most outrageous adventures.
