Jordan Productions Ltd in association with Eastbourne Theatres present

By Jeeves
by Alan Ayckbourn & Andrew Lloyd Webber

Starring Jeffrey Holland as Jeeves and Robin Armstrong as Bertie

By Jeeves
By George. By Jove. By Jeeves.

When Bertie Wooster's banjo mysteriously disappears, immediately prior to his much-anticipated concert in aid of the Little Wittam Church steeple, his quick-witted and unflappable manservant Jeeves suggests he entertain his audience by relating the hapless romantic misadventures of his circle of high-society London cronies.

With Jeeves serving as writer, composer, director and props master, an impromptu theatrical extravaganza unfolds featuring all of Bertie’s extraordinary acquaintances.

Based on the beloved stories of P.G. Wodehouse, By Jeeves is a delightful celebration of all that eccentrically English, with book and lyrics by Alan Ayckbourn and music from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

With farcical situations, nimble word-play and ingenious staging this musical comedy is as refreshing and English as a cup of tea!

open quote marks You must go and see this musical play - it is the whackiest, funniest, 1930's dizzy production that I have seen for some time - and what they don't tell you is that there is a very good six piece band tucked away on one side of the stage All the actors are brilliant, expecially Robin Armstrong playing Bertie Wooster - sit near the stage and watch his fantastic facial and acrobatical m...... more open quote marks

open quote marks An unexpectedly brilliant evening. The show is very funny, as befits its Aykbourn authorship, and it is very cleverly directed. The cast is first-class throughout, and Lloyd-Webber's music is witty, apt and well performed by a good-natured live combo. Compliments are due too to the stage staff, especially the sound engineer, who a achieved a subtle balance and maintained a dynamic level ...... more open quote marks
