A Killer Party (akillerparty.co.uk)
Verdict: Spoof on the hoof
Poor old Mr Wickham. He s been one of the most reviled characters in literature ever since he eloped with Lizzie Bennet s little sister Lydia in Jane Austen s novel Pride And Prejudice.
Having played the saucy scoundrel in Andrew Davies s 1995 TV series (opposite Colin Firth s goody-goody Mr Darcy), Adrian Lukis finally sets the record straight with his account of the fearful bounder s bad behaviour.
It s the evening of his 60th birthday, and he s been barred by Lydia from their bedroom. Happily, he observes, he has a bottle to kill and an audience to entertain .

I wouldn’t exactly say Ben Forster appearing as himself in this musical comedy is a career highlight (he is, after all, someone who has played the title role in the West End production of
The Phantom of the Opera) but it’s evident that he doesn’t take himself too seriously in
A Killer Party. The narrative arc is as predictable as night follows day. In short, this is a murder mystery story in which various leads are followed up, some more plausible than others, before eventually there’s a breakthrough of some kind in the investigation which results in the case being solved.

The smells, the nuances, reveals artist Hannah Sessions in a description of her current exhibition Rooted. Sessions work as an artist and a farmer come together in her paintings of agricultural structures and landscapes. Hay in a field, or a full, busy barn represents security . it roots us in the now and in this place, she writes. Rooted is on view at Vergennes gallery Northern Daughters through April 30. See it in person by appointment or peruse the works online.
