The cast of the revival production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui celebrated opening night at the Donmar Warehouse last night.

Lenny Henry takes the role of Arturo Ui in the piece, which is Bertolt Brecht's satire of Nazi Germany. Also staring are Giles Terera, Lucy Ellinson, Tom Edden and Guy Rhys.

The cast were joined by Phyllida Lloyd, Kate Pakenham and Josie Rourke among others at the after show party.

Simon Evans' production transforms the space into a speakeasy bar, with the audience involved in the action. Read our review of the show here.
