A Damsel in Distress

by P. G. Wodehouse Narrated by Jonathan Cecil

Overview

A Damsel in Distress is a madcap adventure whose comic twists and turns could only have come from the zany imagination of P.G. Wodehouse. Respectable George Bevan is minding his own business, zooming down the street in a taxi, when out of nowhere, lovely Maud Marsh jumps into the car with him, begging for his help. As George recovers from his shock, Maud's sad plight comes to light. She is desperate to escape her aunt's meddlesome ways and reunite with the man she loves. George is moved by Maud's tragic tale and chivalrously offers to aid the hapless damsel. As we soon find, however, no good deed goes unpunished. Mistaken identities, hilarious run-ins with high-tempered relatives, and all manner of shenanigans come George's way before we can reach the exciting conclusion of this wacky romantic comedy.

When Maud Marshmoreton throws herself unexpectedly into George Bevan’s cab in London, he falls instantly in love with her. However, Maud is in love with a mysterious American she met in Wales. Maud’s aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry her stepson, Reggie. But Reggie is in love with his father’s secretary, Alice. When George turns up at the Marshmoreton estate with an American accent, confusion ensues. Jonathan Cecil reads this comic tale of mistaken identity and love triangles with humor and impeccable timing. Although the American accents are sometimes wobbly, the British actor has the perfect rhythmic cadence to bring this cheery British trifle to life. A.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
