Original Theatre Company have announced details of their 2021 UK tour of Being Mr Wickham starring Adrian Lukis, opening at the Belgrade Theatre Coventry on 30 September.

Written by Lukis and Catherine Curzon, this one-man play is about one of Jane Austen’s most charmingly roguish characters.

Lukis, who starred in the renowned BBC TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, returns to the role of Mr Wickham this Autumn following the acclaimed online production of Being Mr Wickham earlier this year.  

Join Pride and Prejudice’s most roguish gentleman, George Wickham, on the eve of his sixtieth birthday, to lift the sheets on exactly what happened thirty years on from where we left him. Discover his own version of some very famous literary events. What really happened with Darcy? What did he feel about Lizzie? What happened at Waterloo? Not to mention Byron… 

Following Coventry, the production will visit Chipping Norton, Mold, Darlington, York, Ipswich, Worthing, Guildford, Basingstoke and Eastbourne. 

Adrian Lukis said: "I’m thrilled to be reunited with my old friend, George Wickham. Having spent years defending his dubious reputation, I look forward to finally setting the record straight, with the assistance of the immensely talented Original Theatre Company." 

Being Mr Wickham is directed by Guy Unsworth, with design by Libby Watson, sound by Max Pappenheim and lighting by Johanna Town.
