THE WICKHAMS
CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY
a jungle co-commissioned world premiere.
It's Christmas at Pemberley! A followup to last season's hit Miss Bennet, The Wickhams takes us downstairs where servants are bustling with the arrival of holiday guests. In the warmth of the Darcy kitchen, family secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested. A holiday tale full of mirth, wit, and the power of giving back to others.
We are SOLD OUT.

REVIEWS
“so amusing and thoughtful that I found myself wanting to know much more…”
-STAR TRIBUNE
“It looks like Jungle Theater has a holiday hit on its hands. It’s funny and fast-moving, with a “villain” you may love to hate. (Move aside, Scrooge.)”
-TWIN CITIES PIONEER PRESS
“This is world-class theatrical art, exceptional for the warmth of its execution and the breadth of its ambition…”
-CITY PAGES
“Laughter rang through the theater with Mrs. Reynolds’ dry comments along Cassie’s clumsiness and high-spirited energy. Brian, an inventor at heart, stole the hearts of everyone in the theater (yes, including the men—if you don’t go for the humor, go for the ending—trust me, it’s worth it).”
