In pictures: Brideshead Revisited rehearsals

Rehearsal images from Brideshead Revisited have been released ahead of opening night at the Theatre Royal York later this month.

Adapted by Bryony Lavery and directed by Damian Cruden, the play will be the first ever large-scale stage production of Evelyn Waugh's classic novel.

The cast includes Christopher Simpson, Brian Ferguson, Rosie Hilal, Nick Blakeley, Caroline Harker, Samantha Lawson, Kiran Sonia Sawar, Christopher Simpson, Paul Shelley and Shuna Snow.

The production is co-produced by English Touring Theatre and York Theatre Royal.

Brideshead Revisited opens at the Theatre Royal York on 26 April, after which it tours.
