What is Being Mr Wickham about?

Join Pride and Prejudice’s most roguish gentleman, George Wickham, on the eve of his sixtieth birthday as he sets the record straight.

Thirty years after the events of Austen’s classic novel, Wickham invites you to hear his side of the story — lifting the curtain on scandal, charm and long-buried truths.

What really happened with Darcy?
What did he truly feel about Lizzie?
And what became of him after Waterloo… not to mention Byron?

This witty and revealing solo performance offers a fresh perspective on one of fiction’s most enduring anti-heroes.
