Venue: Chawton House
4pm, Sunday 28th September
Following hit runs in New York and London, join Chawton House this autumn for Being Mr Wickham, written and performed by Adrian Lukis (BBC’s Pride and Prejudice).
“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.
Adrian Lukis, who starred in the renowned BBC TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, returns to the role of Mr Wickham this Autumn. 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…
