Bridgerton star Luke Thompson will launch The Theatrical Guild’s 2026 “An Audience With” series in support of backstage and front of house theatre workers.
The Theatrical Guild has confirmed that An Audience With Luke Thompson will take place on Sunday 29 March at 2pm at the Leicester Square Theatre.
Best known for playing Benedict Bridgerton in Netflix’s global hit Bridgerton, Luke Thompson will reflect on his training at RADA, his stage and screen career, and his experiences working on one of the world’s most talked-about television series.
The conversation will be hosted by actor and Guild Trustee Hugh Sachs, who appears alongside Thompson in Bridgerton.
Luke Thompson commented: ““I’m excited to be taking part in this event. The Theatrical Guild does such important work supporting the people who keep our industry going — many of whom audiences never see — and it’s a privilege to be involved. I’m really looking forward to chatting to my colleague and friend Hugh, and to everyone there”
Hugh Sachs added: “I am delighted that my fellow ‘Bridgerton’ cast member Luke Thompson has very kindly agreed to take part in The Theatrical Guild’s ‘An Audience With’ series of special fundraising interviews. Having been a Trustee of the Guild for several years now, I am passionate about the work of the charity, as they provide vital support for all the unsung heroes of the profession — the Backstage & Front of House staff who make all the logistics happen on theatre productions across the UK. So, I’m really looking forward to having an entertaining chat with Luke about his career and allowing people to meet this remarkable and fascinating Actor.”
All proceeds from the event will support The Theatrical Guild’s ongoing work providing financial assistance, counselling, wellbeing support and mid-career training for backstage and front of house professionals across the UK.
An Audience With Luke Thompson takes place on Sunday 29 March at 2pm at the Leicester Square Theatre, 6 Leicester Place, London WC2H 7BX.
