Wickhams
Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley | Lauren Gunderson, Margot Melcon
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
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 Miss Bennet depicted the newly wed Darcy's Christmas gathering on the ground floor of Pemberley, THE WICKHAMS takes audiences to the downstairs servant's 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. -- back cover.

There is no shortage of Pride and Prejudice spinoffs, and honestly I don‘t tend to love them, but these plays are possibly my favorite! They‘re based during a Christmas spent at Pemberley after Lizzy and Darcy are married. I love the character development and the way they capture the family dynamic. The servants in this one are great additions. It was a complete delight and I can‘t wait to read the third in the series if I can find a copy.

Bluebird Sounds great, thanks for your review! I‘ll try to find them—always looking for those good austen inspired books! 😀 12mo
