Being Mr Wickham

I'm thrilled to finally announce my super secret project. On 15th September Bath's fabulous Jane Austen Festival will host the premier of Being Mr Wickham, my theatrical writing debut, starring Adrian Lukis (who else!?) as Jane Austen's quintessential rogue. 

Mr Wickham may be a little older, but is he any wiser?

"Written off as a rake and reviled as a rogue, join George Wickham on the eve of his sixtieth birthday to discover his version of some very famous literary events. From childhood games at Pemberley to a run-in with Lord Byron, via marriage to Lydia and just a little bit of matchmaking for Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, Mr Wickham is ready to set the record straight."

The performance will be followed by a Q&A with Adrian and me. 

This is an absolute dream come true moment for me - I'm still pinching myself!

Tickets go on sale soon, but I couldn't keep it to myself a moment longer!

You can also catch the show as the finale to Stamford Georgian Festival on 29th September. Click here to book!
