The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberly
By Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
Directed by Michael J. Frohnhoefer
In this companion play to Miss Bennet, Gunderson and Melcon once again bring Austen’s beloved characters to the stage for a yuletide sequel. 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.
The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberly is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. dramatists.com
Audition Information:
The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley – October 12, 3 – 5pm
CASTING: 3 men, 4 women
Character Breakdown:
MRS. REYNOLDS—Late 50s, early 60s, the housekeeper at Pemberley, knows all and sees all, has been on staff since Darcy was a child, a mother figure to the household.
BRIAN—A footman, in love with technology and inventions, sincere and earnest, perhaps a bit arrogant.
CASSIE—The new housemaid, a village girl, an orphan who came from less than nothing. The opportunity to work at Pemberley means security she has never had, and she takes this job very seriously. She is sometimes maybe too eager and a bit headstrong.
MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY—Head and owner of Pemberley.
MRS. ELIZABETH DARCY—Mistress of Pemberley.
GEORGE WICKHAM—Grew up at Pemberley, son of the former steward, once a soldier, has been in and out of trouble (of his own making) his whole life.
LYDIA WICKHAM—A bright, warm, and charming personality, if sometimes a bit much, eloped with Wickham at 15 and is now somewhat trapped in this marriage.
