Imagine if you made one little mistake when you were young and were punished for it for the rest of your life. Well, that’s what happened to Lydia (yes, that Lydia, the youngest Bennet sister from Pride and Prejudice), and she’s here to set the record straight. Hold on to your teacups and get ready for sophisticated (and a little bit naughty) hot takes and witty banter that’ll make you laugh—and think.

We meet Lydia just as she is denounced by her family, exiled miles from home, and married to the rogue George Wickham, who seems to love all women...except his own wife. She must learn to summon great bravery to carve out a place for herself in the society that has brutally rejected her.

Lydia isn’t the traditional Austen heroine, and this isn’t a traditional, polite period drama. Lydia is a badass. A trailblazer. She’s fierce and fiercely funny. And she might inhabit the Regency period, but she’s fighting the same battle many of us are today—having to defend the decisions she’s made and the person she chooses to love, to shut out the 'trolls' and gossips, to hold her head high in a world that will judge her for any mistake she makes.

Starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley (Fargo, The Lost Daughter) and Johnny Flynn (Lovesick, Stardust), this hilarious and timely listen is for fans of classics with a twist. Writer and creator playwright Sarah Page says that she wrote Mrs. Wickham to 'entertain people with a romantic, optimistic, and seductive comedy,' but that there’s also a 'message held at its heart to treat each other with kindness.'

If you binged Bridgerton, this one’s for you.

Starring: Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, Emily Barber, Fehinti Balogun, Adrian Edmondson, Leila Farzad, Stephanie Hyam, Jodie McNee, Natalie Simpson, Ray Panthaki and Emily Johnstone

Directed by Eleanor Rhode. Sound Design by David Gregory. Co-produced by Wondermore Productions.

Portions of this audio drama contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Dear Listener,

What’s the most important lesson I can teach other women?
At some point in your youth, when you are still naive and not yet accustomed with the ways of the world, you may cross paths with a man whom your instincts tell you is a cad. He will probably be fine-looking. He might even present himself as a gentleman. It will be immensely tempting to give in to his charms … but you must not! Because, while he may continue his life largely unchanged afterward, you will find that the eyes of the world look on you most harshly. As they say, reputation takes a lifetime to build, and a second to destroy. Or in my case, half an hour with Mr. Wickham in a guesthouse in Elm Grove.
Yours, etc., Lydia. – Sarah Page, writer of Mrs. Wickham

I will say this was such a surprise for who would have thought Lydia Wickham would have told a wonderful story of her married life.
Don’t miss this!
The cast who performed the characters made this story wonderful and the music and background noises in scenes even better.

A surprisingly wonderful tale

This was a great short story. Listen to the end. Regret, fear, anger, disgust and love all in one. A story of transformation and 2nd chances

A Great Read

If you enjoyed pride and prejudice please read this! It gives a new perspective to Lydia.

Great story!

I am not an Austen devotee. It's long bothered me that utterly useless Mr Bennet is unquestionably benign while Mrs Bennet is reduced to awkward desperation to provide for her daughters' futures. Elizabeth and Jane... I can't even. But I had never given much thought to Lydia.

Sarah Page's Mrs Wickham is as worthy a defense of Lydia, and women, as Madeline Miller's Circe.

The sound effects are too loud to listen in a vehicle and the music is so loud its painful to listen with headphones.

Listen anyway. The voice acting is very good and the story is inspiring.

Why does Audible give the male narrator top billing, when the publisher, Amazon and the alphabet put Jessie Buckley on top ?

Lydia joins Circe in the trenches.

Well, that is not what I expected. Like many Jane Austen fans, I have read Pride and Prejudice multiple times. Also like many fans, I found Lydia to be tedious and annoying. This presentation has completely changed my mind. Stop. Read that again. One listen of a 2 hour audiobook changed an opinion I have held for decades. That, Ms. Sarah Page, is power. Well done, you.

Lydia sees where her recklessness has landed her. She performs an inventory on her life and takes action to improve herself. She still isn’t perfect, but she is real; she is a whole person, and one that I would gladly be friends with.

Surprising!

I absolutely loved this story. I was riveted and listened in one sitting. If you’re a fan of pride and prejudice, you’ll love this side story.

Loved it!

This story was definitely different. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great so somewhere between there. I don’t feel like I wasted my time so that’s a plus.

Different take on a classic

This is now how the story ends for Lydia in my head. I loved this story. I only took one star off of the performance because, why did they keep using country/western music?
