The Scotsman: "Mickleburgh handles Austen's English skilfully and gives a heartfelt portrayal of a man torn between his notions of social status and the wishes of his heart.I'm not sure how much any of this would mean to people not familiar with Jane Austen's text, or at least with the film or TV versions of it. But Jane Austen fans will enjoy hearing her words spoken so well."
Darcy's Dilemma - review 2010
Jane Austen Festival Octagon Theatre,
Royal Photographic Society,
Bath
Perhaps only a female writer could pick up where Austen left off in Pride and Prejudice, with Darcy's rejected proposal and get away with it. Only women really understand the fantasy value of the smouldering anti-hero with a heart of gold.
Using vocabulary from the original teen-romance pulp fiction and intertwining plot references, Sue La Blond has created a great spin off in her one-hour monologue, Darcy's Dilemma, depicting the aftermath of his rejected proposal in the library at Rosings.
From his breathless entry, William Mickleburgh puts new life into Austen's straight-talking Darcy exposing a tender underbelly that fans of the novel knew was there, but never quite got to see.
If Colin Firth put the danger into Darcy, in the recent BBC adaptation of the famous novel, William Mickleburgh dug out the desperation of the anti-hero's unrequited passions to convincing effect.
William's emotional performance showcased Darcy's vulnerability and brought alive the lost hours writing 'the letter' that sways Elizabeth.
He surprised the audience with a softer, more youthful Darcy instead of the arrogant rogue so often played.
Entertaining and a great introduction to the novel if you haven't read it, it's high octane in a Georgian sort of way and definitely more enjoyable than an episode of Eastenders.
