The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley
Hart Theater, December 14 & 22, 2024
By Vonnie Alto, Regional Coordinator
Our region celebrated the holidays by attending the Hart Theater to experience the play: The Wickhams - Christmas at Pemberley--the Yuletide sequal in the Pemberley Trilogy by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon.
We all had a lovely time revisiting Pemberley!
What a delightful cast! We saw a humorous side of Mr. Darcy reprised by the same actor (Zac Marshall) as last year who played Darcy in Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberely. It was like visiting an old friend this year who gave Darcy additional depth with his onstage humor. Sliding across the kitchen table was added fun and so memorable!
Then there's Wickham! A most unforgettable character! Now relegated to the servant's quarters and banished from there too. Although not cast with the usual appearance, yet just as effective. One of our members, Malcolm Fredeking noted, "while not physically looking like the Wickham we usually envision, the actor playing the part was perhaps the strongest in the production (along with Mrs. Reynolds and Cassie)." When either or all of them were on stage, we couldn't take our eyes off them (Jeremy January, AJ Graham, Julianne Robinson).
Scene stealers for sure!
What a charming holiday production!
And a friendly cast who graciously mingled with the audience after the play and talked to them. Much appreciated!
The onsite cookies hot out of the oven were delicious to eat and provided a cozy aroma to the event. Extra cookies were generously shared with the audience. Also, much appreciated!
