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. 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. What really happened with Darcy? What did he feel about Lizzie? What happened at Waterloo? Not to mention Byron…
Coming to London direct from a hit-run in New York, Adrian Lukis who starred in the renowned BBC TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, returns to the role of Mr Wickham. The award-winning Original Theatre return after A Splinter of Ice with a “glorious tour de force” about one of literature’s most memorable characters.
