Description
After twenty years as a struggling variety turn and then a prolific scriptwriter and television star, comic genius Marty Feldman found screen stardom with his very first Hollywood role in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.
With his wife Lauretta as the power behind the throne, his rise and fall and decline is related through bittersweet memories of the past and intoxicated infidelities in the present.
Jeepers Creepers is a fantasy. A riff, with roots in fact. A three-act, two-handed snapshot of a loving, complex, completely fascinating couple; seen through the unique prism of a cornerstone of comedy. The unique eyes of Marty Feldman.
Based on the original West End play by Robert Ross and directed by Terry Jones.
