The Almeida Theatre has released production photos ahead of tonight's official opening of Christopher Shinn's play Against, which began previews on 12 August and runs through to 30 September 2017 at the north London venue.

Stage and screen favourite Ben Whishaw stars as Luke alongside fellow cast members Fehinti Balgoun, Elliot Barnes-Worrell, Nancy Crane, Emma D'Arcy, Amanda Hale, Kevin Harvey, Adelle Leonce, Martin McDougall, Philippe Spall, Gavin Spokes, and Naomi Wirthner.

"Silicon Valley. The future. A rocket launches. Luke is an aerospace billionaire who can talk to anyone. But God is talking to him. He sets out to change the world. Only violence stands in his way."

Directed by Ian Rickson the production features designs by Ultz, music by Mark Bradshaw and movement direction by Imogen Knight.
