Being Mr Wickham

“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…

Coming to London direct from a hit-run in New York. From the award-winning Original Theatre (The Interview, Murder In The Dark, Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d, Alan Bennett’s The Habit of Art).

Step back into the world of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with Being Mr Wickham at the Garrick Theatre in London’s West End. Adrian Lukis reprises his celebrated BBC role in this sharply crafted one man play that is ideal for Austen enthusiasts.
