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 .

I wouldn’t exactly say Ben Forster appearing as himself in this musical comedy is a career highlight (he is, after all, someone who has played the title role in the West End production of
The Phantom of the Opera) but it’s evident that he doesn’t take himself too seriously in
A Killer Party. The narrative arc is as predictable as night follows day. In short, this is a murder mystery story in which various leads are followed up, some more plausible than others, before eventually there’s a breakthrough of some kind in the investigation which results in the case being solved.

Multi-award-winning, international hit musical
Come From Away will make a welcome return to the West End booking from 21st June 2021. The West End company in Come From Away at the Phoenix Theatre 2020 – Credit Craig Sugden.
Come From Away tells the remarkable and inspiring true story of 7,000 stranded air passengers during the wake of 9/11, and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but as uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
On 11th September 2001, the world stopped. On 12th September, their stories moved us all.
