Description: The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley By Lauren Gunderson & Margot Melcon In this delightful companion play to Miss Bennet, Gunderson and Melcon once again bring Austen’s beloved characters to the stage for a yuletide sequel to Pride and Prejudice. While last year’s production of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley depicted the newly wed Darcys’ Christmas gathering on the ground floor of Pemberley, The Wickhams takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters for that same celebration. Mrs. Reynolds, a no-nonsense housekeeper; Cassie, an eager new maid; and Brian, a lovesick footman, are bustling with preparations for holiday guests. But their work is interrupted by the midnight arrival of the definitely not invited Mr. Wickham—Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy. The Wickhams is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.

Written by Lauren Gunderson & Margot Melcon Directed by Lisa C. Ravensbergen Featuring Caroline Bell, Caroline Coon, Kenzie Delo, Jeff Dingle, Patrick Jeffrey and Lara Lewis. Set Designer | Andrea Evans Stage Manager | Judy Joe Scheffler Assistant Stage Manager | Patricia Vinluan
