Stars of the stage shine at theatreland’s biggest bash

Stars including Judi Dench, Tom Hiddleston and Gemma Arterton gathered in central London for theatreland’s biggest bash — the Olivier Awards.

Arterton joined co-host Stephen Mangan to introduce the show and the opening act, from the stage musical of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The first award — for best revival — went to Ghosts at the Almeida Theatre and the Trafalgar Studios.
