Being Mr Wickham

BY ADRIAN LUKIS.

DIRECTED BY GUY UNSWORTH.

12 August -
30 August 2025

Overview

“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.”

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. Returning to Jermyn Street after a hit-run in London and New York and from the award-winning Original Theatre comes a “glorious tour de force” about one of literature’s most memorable characters.

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

 

Suggested Age: 11+
