15 – 17 September

Mr Wickham is ready to set the record straight.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, Adrian Lukis, who starred in the renowned BBC TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, returns to the role of Mr Wickham.

Join Pride and Prejudice’s most roguish gentleman, George Wickham, on the eve of his sixtieth birthday, to lift the sheets on what exactly what happened thirty years on from where we left him… And discover his own version of some very famous literary events.

What really happened with Darcy…?

What did he feel about Lizzie…?

What happened at Waterloo? Not to mention Byron…

“Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his making friends -whether he may be equally capable of retaining them is less certain”.

Presented by Original Theatre and directed by Guy Unsworth, with design by Libby Watson, lighting design by Johanna Town and sound design by Max Pappenheim.
