Photos: Rosamund Pike, Fiona Shaw, & More Attend LADIES FIRST Screening

On Sunday, cast and crew from Netflix's forthcoming comedy Ladies First gathered at the Ham Yard Hotel in London for a special screening to celebrate the forthcoming film, which hits Netflix on Friday, May 22. Take a look at photos from the event.

Among the attendees was Olivier Award-winner Rosamund Pike, currently leading the West End production of Inter Alia, which is due to transfer to Broadway later this year. Also in attendance were fellow stage and screen stars Charles Dance, Fiona Shaw, and Kathryn Hunter, as well as Sacha Baron Cohen, Tom Davis, Weruche Opia, Kadiff Kirwan, Director Thea Sharrock, Producers Liza Chasin, Eleonore Dailly, Edouard de Lachomette, and Executive Producer Nicky Kentish Barnes.

The satirical film follows Damien Sachs (Cohen), a successful ladies' man, who finds his life upended when he wakes up in a parallel world dominated by women. With the rules of engagement changed, he goes head-to-head with a fiery female colleague (Pike) as the film explores what happens when the script is flipped. Emily Mortimer, Richard E. Grant and Bill Paterson also star.

Ladies First is directed by Thea Sharrock, a seasoned theater director whose feature credits include Me Before You and Wicked Little Letters. The screenplay is by Natalie Krinsky and Cinco Paul (Schmigadoon!) & Katie Silberman, from the Netflix film Je Ne Suis Pas Un Homme Facile written and directed by Eléonore Pourriat
