About this listen
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.

Delightful despite the incongruous music
An interesting and entertaining take on Lydia. Lots of reviews panned the music and I agree it didn't work. BUT I love any opportunity to delve further into the Bennetts and really enjoyed this

The perfect length for a long walk. The story was entertaining however it did start slow so I was happy to get past the first 15 min.

I actually really enjoyed this!
I’m an avid Austen fan and went in without expectations.. and loved it! It’s a silly bit of fun, but extremely endearing and has a generosity of human spirit. And damn right, one scandal in one’s youth should not damn one in perpetuity!
My one criticism - the random interludes of music seemed mostly out of place and unnecessary at first. Also, it was too short!

Delightful!
A funny, poignant and delightful short burst of fun. The premise is cheeky but works! Characters nearly all believable and Jessie Buckley is perfect as Lydia, and Johnny Flynn as the Wickham who can our swagger them all!

very sweet
not a literary work of art by any stretch but good fun if you're looking for a quick story of light-hearted indulgence. I agree the backing music is a bit much but it doesn't last long, just adds to the flair.
