A hot day was followed by a cool crowd last night, as the city’s thespians headed to the Rosewood hotel in Holborn after the Olivier Awards. Nominees Ruth Wilson and Sheridan Smith looked in good spirits despite losing out at the ceremony: Billie Piper in Yerma beat Wilson to Best Actress, and Smith lost in the Musical Actress category to Amber Riley in Dreamgirls.

Tamara Rojo, artistic director of the English National Ballet, enjoyed the party.

Other winners included Noma Dumezweni for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, with Adrian Lester.

Choreographer Matthew Bourne did the double: his Sadler’s Wells show The Red Shoes won two awards. One for each shoe?
