"Mr Lithgow tells of reading P.G. Wodehouse to his father when he was gravely ill -- the same story his father had read to him 50 years before (a jazzy tour-de-force, he plays 9 characters!) It rallied the old man's failing spirits and in the sound of his father's laughter, Mr. Lithgow discovered the healing power of storytelling -- and so will audiences through this funny and touching performance."
I just now heard about this on Twitter:
I used to read P.G. Wodehouse to my daughters when they were younger. Maybe they'll read his works to me when I get older.

Reason: "jeeves" wasn't available in WoW, so I named my butler "jeaves" and forgot that it was an idiosyncrasy.
