Directed by Mandy Bean

Multiverse Theatre Collective presents, The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley, a delightful companion play to Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. In this play 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 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, an inventive 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.

Starring: Lauren Otis, Alex McDonald, Hanni Muerdter, Zak Hamrick, Dana Gillihan, Gabby Bailey, and Desmond Williams
