Lockdown Theatre has announced a charity evening of intimate conversation with British acting legends: Dame Judi Dench, Sir Derek Jacobi, Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Maggie Smith on 29 November at 7pm.

Hosted by Sir Kenneth Branagh, the live Q&A will be held via Zoom and there will be the chance for audience members to participate during the event.

Ticket proceeds will be donated to leading theatrical charity, Acting for Others. Lockdown Theatre has raised over £112,000 for the charity to date from their previous events.

Producer of Lockdown Theatre, Rob Grant, said: “We began this initiative when Robert Lindsay suggested we considered donating our proceeds to the RTF charity, a charity that is part of Acting for Others. In this climate, it sounded like a truly worthy cause, and we decided to  mount future productions entirely for the benefit of the charity, and via them, the performing arts industry, which is suffering so hideously from the restrictions on live entertainment, with no clear end in sight. We enjoy putting the shows on, the cast enjoy performing them, and the audiences enjoy watching. It’s a three-way win.”
