THE MURDER OF MR. WICKHAM

Narrator Billie Fulford-Brown's sparkling character portrayals and expressive tone create a theatrical experience of this enchanting Regency mystery. Favorite characters from beloved Jane Austen novels are featured. At Donwell Abbey, Emma Woodhouse-Knightley (EMMA) hosts a month-long gathering of her friends, including Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE), Captain Frederick and Anne Wentworth (PERSUASION), and Fanny and Edmund Bertram (MANSFIELD PARK). Interrupting the festivities is the unexpected and unwelcome arrival of Mr. Wickham. When he is found dead, it becomes clear that nearly everyone had a motive for his murder. Elizabeth and Darcy's romance is echoed in the attraction between their reserved son, Jonathan, and the vivacious Juliette Tilney as they work together to solve the murder. Fulford-Brown's multidimensional characterizations are a marvel, and her male voices are especially impressive. M.J.
