Mark Gatiss, Ed Westwick and Richard E Grant attend Great Britain opening night

Richard Bean’s play transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket in one of the starriest opening nights of the year

The West End transfer of Great Britain opened at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on Friday with guests including Richard E Grant, Game of Thrones Kit Harington and Gossip Girl heartthrob Ed Westwick in attendance.

Richard Bean's satire, which premiered at the National Theatre last month, takes a wide-ranging swipe at the press, police and political establishment in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal.
