Following their opening night, we caught up with the cast of the Donmar Warehouse production of William Congreve's The Way of the World.

James Macdonald's production has a cast including Haydn Gwynne, Justine Mitchell, Fisayo Akinade, Tom Mison, Sarah Hadland and Geoffrey Streatfeild.

The Way of the World – a satirical comedy from the 1700s – follows the dysfunctional family of Lady Wishfort. In her review of the show, Sarah Crompton said the piece emerged "with the gleaming richness of a symphony".

The Way of the World runs at Donmar Warehouse until 26 May.
