Review: BEING MR WICKHAM, Jermyn Street Theatre
Written and performed by Adrian Lukis and directed by Guy Unsworth, Being Mr Wickham brings us into the world of the infamous Pride & Prejudice character after his 60th birthday, having withdrawn from the festivities to a quiet space. But, suddenly, Wickham looks into the audience, acknowledging us and telling us, “When play stops, old age begins.'

Interview: 'It's Essentially a Defensive Wickham': Adrian Lukis on the Background of a Villain in BEING MR WICKHAM
If you ask a Jane Austen fan who the villain of Pride and Prejudice is, most of them would probably say George Wickham, the charming soldier who has a hidden history with Darcy. But some, including Adrian Lukis, who played Wickham in the BBC’s 1995 adaptation of the novel, would argue that things are not as black and white as one might think.

On Saturday 19 December 1981, the Penlee lifeboat ‘Solomon Browne’, was launched in hurricane conditions to go to the aid of the coaster ‘Union Star’ that had engine failure and was being swept towards the southern coast of Cornwall. It was an attempted rescue which ranks not only with the greatest in the history of the RNLI, but with any human achievement.

BWW Review: THE SYSTEM
Emily Head (The Inbetweeners, Emmerdale, The Syndicate) plays all the characters in the intriguing production which was filmed live on stage in a single camera take at the New Wolsey Theatre. 'He’s dead. He died. Now he’s a dead person. He no longer lives.’ Paul's dead. And no one seems to care. Murdered at his own birthday party. In this incisive drama, the audience is invited into the interrogation room with the murder suspects. As, one by one, the murder suspects give their accounts of that night, a dark truth begins to reveal itself. A truth so powerful it could change everything… and everyone.

BWW Review: A SPLINTER OF ICE, Theatre Royal Bath
Theatre is no stranger to fictional renderings of famous get-togethers. There’s One Night in Miami, where Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali), Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown celebrate at Hampton House Hotel in 1964 – the night Clay became world heavyweight champion. Malcolm X features again in The Meeting, alongside Martin Luther King. And in Copenhagen, the previous play on at Theatre Royal Bath, Nobel-winning physicists Dane Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg have a clandestine encounter.

Guest Blog: Playwright Ben Brown On the Renewed Joy of Live Theatre
I must admit, my first reaction was not wholly positive: some time in January this year, the producer Alastair Whatley rang me to say that he proposed to go ahead with rehearsing my new play, A Splinter of Ice, in March, despite the national lockdown. But since it was now impossible to invite an audience to see it at the Everyman Theatre Cheltenham (where it had been due to open), he’d instead like to film it onstage in the empty auditorium and release it online. I felt like I’d written a knife that would now be judged as a spoon.

BWW Review: BEING MR WICKHAM, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds Online
Mr Wickham is best known as the villain of Jane Austen’s iconic novel Pride and Prejudice; a dastardly rake who seduced Elizabeth’s impetuous younger sister Lydia and threatened to bring the whole family into disrepute. Adrian Lukis, who played Wickham in the seminal 1994 BBC series, now returns to the character in Being Mr Wickham, a highly engaging one-man play, streamed live from the country’s last Regency theatre, the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds.
