PG Wodehouse's rollicking Summer Lightning arrived with a cast to die for, including Matt Lucas' turn as a portentous PI and Charles Dance as a wayward aristo, mouth stuffed as full of cake as his lordship's prize-winning pigs.
Moira Petty, The Stage, 12th July 2010Lord Emsworth (Martin Jarvis) is getting Empress of Blandings, his prize pig, ready for the Shropshire Agricultural Show. He's worried about possible nobbling by rival breeder Sir Gregory Parsloe (Michael Jayston). Meanwhile scandal looms if Emsworth's brother Galahad (Charles Dance) publishes his memoirs so Parsloe hires private detective Percy Pilbeam (Matt Lucas) to nick the manuscript. And love, as ever in a PG Wodehouse comedy, is making life very complicated for the younger set. Dramatised in two star-studded episodes by Archie Scottney, made by glamorous independents Jarvis and Ayres Productions.
