A Killer Party (akillerparty.co.uk)
Verdict: Spoof on the hoof
Poor old Mr Wickham. He s been one of the most reviled characters in literature ever since he eloped with Lizzie Bennet s little sister Lydia in Jane Austen s novel Pride And Prejudice.
Having played the saucy scoundrel in Andrew Davies s 1995 TV series (opposite Colin Firth s goody-goody Mr Darcy), Adrian Lukis finally sets the record straight with his account of the fearful bounder s bad behaviour.
It s the evening of his 60th birthday, and he s been barred by Lydia from their bedroom. Happily, he observes, he has a bottle to kill and an audience to entertain .
