A father. A son. Some baggage.

David’s father was a Libyan-Italian Jew who survived the Nazi concentration camps as a child. Larger than life, he went on through business boom and bust, casinos and shady deals, a bomb attack, and more – hauling his loved ones on his wild rollercoaster of a life.

Now, David’s having a midlife crisis. He longs to grow up, but his macho dad keeps getting in the way. In Pieces of a Man, David brings us on a hilarious and transformational journey to find his dead father, and live on.

The show is fresh from a Europe-wide tour including Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, and Berlin's legendary Volksbühne theatre.

West End, Chichester and RSC favourite, Sam Harrison, plays all twenty-two much-loved PG Wodehouse characters including Jeeves, Wooster, Florence Craye, Gussie Fink-Nottle, Bingo Little, Uncle Willoughby, Aunt Dahlia, and many more – in a bravura, tour de force, one-man performance.

Originally brought into the West End by Barbara Dickson and Bernard Theobald, together with Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jeeves Takes Charge is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

In short, I can tell you that with absolute certainty you will be in for a ‘top hole, smashing, wizard, evening’, which after two hours will leave you breathless and dizzy with joy at the performance you have just been privileged to witness.
Theatre and Tonic ★★★★★

A welcome return then for Wodehouse aficionados and perhaps a useful introduction for newcomers, this lavish production features a remarkable central performance.
West End Best Friend

Harrison is excellent. He is clearly at home with both Wodehouse’s writing and this particular style of comedy. His bumbling delivery, physical comedy, rubbery movements and wonderfully eccentric mannerisms make him perfectly suited to the material.
Staged Theatre

Wooldridge’s staging is quite masterful, right up to curtain call during which Harrison takes his bow surrounded by the portraits of all the characters he has played.
The Spy in the Stalls

Harrison is magnetic, effortlessly funny and boldly dynamic.
All That Dazzles

once the production begins, the room changes to various locations and venues thanks to a wonderful combination of video projection, sound and lighting (compliments of Caite Hevner, Paul Groothuis and Tim Mitchell) in a way that is both shocking and outstanding. Truly superb work by the creatives.
London Theatre 1 ★★★★

With clever staging and a mesmerising performance, Jeeves Takes Charge is full of laughs from beginning to end.
North West End UK ★★★★

It’s nothing less than a tour de force and a model of infectious light entertainment.
Fairy Powered Productions ★★★★

A highly enjoyable night at the theatre.
A Youngish Perspective ★★★★

The staging is immaculately put together. Caite Hevner’s design is clever and dynamic.
First Night Magazine

It was truly an enjoyable evening, and the funniest performance I’ve seen for some time.
Theatre South East

for fans of the Wodehouse brand of comedy, this is an astute and appealing adaptation.
Theatre Weekly ★★★★

Funny, inventive and incredibly skilful, this is storytelling and multi-role performance at its very best.
Theatre Audience Podcast ★★★★

The combined effect is bright, lively and ephemeral, effectively catching the spirit of Jeeves and Wooster’s breezily carefree world.
The Stage

a delightfully lighthearted and entertaining show. Something we need more of right now.
Broadway World

a fun, very reverent take on the works of P.G Wodehouse, with a great physical performance from Sam Harrison.
The Theatre Flyer

the biggest achievement of the evening comes from Sam Harrison. The sheer amount of content he has to handle is extraordinary. He plays 22 (!) roles, switching between them and rattling through a near-impossible number of lines with great stamina. Harrison's technical skill is so admirable
