Kenneth Branagh, Imelda Staunton, Emma Thompson and Derek Jacobi will all discuss their careers on stage with Downton Abbey’s Jim Carter in February.

It almost feels like a Peter’s Friends reunion.

The In Conversation series is taking place at the Tricycle Theatre with proceeds going towards the venue’s auditorium renovation project.

Carter will talk with Kenneth Branagh and Derek Jacobi on 19 February and Emma Thompson and Imelda Staunton on 25 February.

He said: “It’s a mark of the respect and affection that the Tricycle Theatre commands that all the actors on my wish list immediately agreed to support this fundraising project. I think we’re in for two wonderful evenings full of fun and insight and it’s great to be able to give the audience the opportunity to question their favourite actors in person.”

Tickets for the events cost between £75 and £100. Tickets are on sale now.
