Please indulge me while I leave this here for my own posterity because I freaking met Luke Thompson and I honestly still can’t believe it??

First of all, the play was even better than I expected, and w o w is it incredible to see Luke act in person!! He’s so talented, it just makes me even more excited for Benedict’s season!!

He came out while I was recording a vox pop for the show (literally just gushing and nerding about how it aligned with my current research) and started talking with the big group waiting there (in French to some of them!!!)

I was too shy to join the big group, so I waited to the side until the lead actress came out because I wanted to speak to her too. She was so sweet and loved the fact that I was researching issues brought up in the play, and told me and the two other girls near me that the play was written in two weeks (honestly incredible for how good it was!!). She said she would introduce us to the playwright, but she couldn’t find him in the crowd.

While we were talking, I saw Luke go to take pictures with the group, and when no one came up to him at one point, he joked “I won’t be taking pictures by myself!” to encourage them and was so sweet!

Luke went to join his friends while I was still talking to Debbie, so I told her I didn’t want to interrupt him if he was with people he knew. She immediately said “oh no, he’s literally the sweetest, you have to say hi!” And then proceeded to bring me over and introduce me personally, by name (“Luke, this is Jenny, she wanted to meet you!”)  👀👀

He was so sweet and kind, my god does that man maintain eye contact when speaking to you! He said he was happy to talk with me and waved me off when I apologised for interrupting, and he was genuinely interested when I told him what I was researching about the community impact of regeneration and heritage and how I loved that they were talking about it through theatre, and that I’m a massive theatre kid studying cultural policy.

He said we need more theatre actors in London, and said “good, good!” when I told him my friends are theatre people and we were trying to get them back to NYC from LA

I apologised for rambling and he smiled and told me I wasn’t 🥹🥹

He also said it was so nice to get back on stage since it had been a few years since he’d done a play!

I last minute asked for a picture, and he sprang out of his chair and came over to me!He took my phone to take a selfie and then said “Where are we looking? I never know where to look!” And because it was dark, the flash went off, and he was like “oh, the flash went, is that okay? Do you want another?” So I turned it off and he took another one.

I thanked him, and apologised again for interrupting him and his friend, and said, “No, you’re fine, thank you!” And told me to have a good night as I left 🥹

Shoutout to the girl who asked Luke about Benophie bc I’m pretty sure my brain turned off the minute he looked at me and I only remember half of what I said 😂

Inej Ghafa 🤝 Kate Sharma

Falling in love with a grumpy wet cat in a fine suit who'd do pretty much anything for them.

Anything but visit while they're recovering from a serious injury, apparently

Bless you for this gem, Nicola. Bless you.

I will defend Kate and Yen till the end.

If you don’t relate to their personality, traits, or choices, they aren’t for you.

But I myself, and many others, do.

It’s refreshing to see women existing in media that aren’t sunshine and rainbows. 💁🏻‍♀️

[jennyohwrites]

I love them, your honour
