Nicola Walker, Alun Armstrong and Maggie Steed celebrate The Cane opening at the Royal Court

The cast of The Cane celebrated with the show's director (and the venue's artistic director) Vicky Featherstone at opening night last night at the Royal Court.

Mark Ravenhill's play, which follows a retiring schoolteacher whose home is beset by a large mob of schoolchildren, has its world premiere at the downstairs space at the central London venue.

The Cane is designed by Chloe Lamford with lighting by Natasha Chivers and sound by David McSeveney.
