Rational Animals Presents: Consent by Nina Raine
About
Why is Justice blind? Is she impartial? Or is she blinkered?Friends Ed and Tim take opposing briefs in a rape case. The key witness is a woman whose life seems a world away from theirs. At home, their own lives begin to unravel as every version of the truth is challenged.
A powerful, painful, funny play that sifts the evidence from every side and puts Justice herself in the dock.
★★★★★ "Jammed with ideas, rich with humanity... A modern classic." - The Times
★★★★★ "One of Nina Raine's most enjoyable and intelligent plays. Unreservedly recommended." - The Independent
“A tense, entertaining modern-day tragi-comedy.” - Telegraph
“Modern classics don’t come along very often. Consent is, without a shadow of a doubt, just that: an intricately constructed philosophical drama that does for love, law and language what Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen did for particle physics and Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia did with time.” - Variety
Mature Audiences (16+ Event). Content Warning: Discussions and depictions of sexual violence, coarse language, smoke haze, and themes of suicide.
