Meet Just William

William's Haunted House and Other Stories

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse

A comical romp of an adventure involving Jeeves, Wooster and 'Bicky', whose uncle, the Duke of Chiswick, has the potential to be a wealthy benefactor to his nephew. Unfortunately, the Duke is what's known in the right circles as a 'hard-boiled egg' - ie 'notoriously the most prudent spender in England'. When Bicky contacts Bertie, our jaunt begins, and hilarity and laughs, courtesy of P. G. Wodehouse and Martin Jarvis, are bound to follow.

Jeeves and the Hard-Boiled Egg

Hapless and often hopeless romantic Bingo Little has fallen for yet another young lady in this Jeeves and Wooster story of terrible cravats, far-from-fine dining and love's perhaps-not-so-young dream. Bertie is rather confounded by Bingo's love for a girl below his rightful station, so long-suffering Jeeves is roped in to talk to Bingo's uncle, who is also his benefactor, to try to find a mutually amenable arrangement. Comic writing at its best, invigorated on audio by avid Wodehouse authority and fan Martin Jarvis.

Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum

Bright Boy is a one-act play for four males. Haddleton is in Munich on an important business project, which he has every hope of bringing to a successful conclusion with his German associate, Dietl. At the hotel bar he is accosted by another Englishman, Grey, who claims to know him. It transpires that the two men were at school together. Before long it becomes apparent that Grey has a more sinister purpose than schoolboy reminiscences. Gradually he undermines Haddleton's selfconfidence, and by the end of the play has wreaked a subtle vengeance for the terrible treatment he received at his hands as a boy.

William and the Prize Cat and Other Stories

In 2001 Martin Jarvis played the eponymous role in the American production of Alan Ayckbourns' and Andrew Lloyd Webbers' musical Wodehouse adaptation, By Jeeves. This is the diary he kept of that tour; a study of triumphs, failures and mindbending chaos as cast and crew ambitiously attempt to steer the production from the snows of Pittsburgh to the glory of the 'Great White Way', arriving on Broadway to coincide with the horrific events of 9/11. Packed with theatrical anecdotes, gossip and Jarvis' wry observations on culture shock and the theatre world, Broadway, Jeeves? is a heady mixture of comedy and drama. It is a revealing peek behind the scenes of a major Broadway production, and into the psychology of the people who desperately tried to keep it afloat.
