The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley  

by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
Directed by Curt Arnold

A companion play to last year’s Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, this year’s The Wickhams takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters during the same Christmas celebration. The no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs. Reynolds, eager new maid Cassie, and lovesick footman Brian are busy with holiday preparations. But their work is interrupted by the clandestine midnight arrival of Mr. Wickham – Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy (who definitely was not invited). The Wickhams is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.
