AceShowbiz – “Downton Abbey” stars Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter are among the famous faces set to take part a virtual Christmas show.
The actors, who also appeared together in the “Harry Potter” movies, will make appearances alongside Minnie Driver, Rosalie Craig, and Giles Terera in the show, featuring music, comedy sketches and poetry, on 16 December (20).
“Looking a Lot Like Christmas”, organised by bosses at the Donmar Warehouse theatre, will be broadcast from St Luke’s Church in central London.
While the showing is free, audience members are encouraged to donate money to support the theatre’s work, with 15 per cent of money raised going to the Connection at St Martin’s homeless charity.
“At the end of a very difficult year for us all, we wanted to bring together a group of incredible artists to celebrate the festive season in true Donmar style,” Donmar Warehouse artistic director Michael Longhurst said.
“Even though we can’t be together in person, we hope you will all join us online to share the joy of music and theatre which has endured throughout the challenges of 2020.”
