Simon Manyonda and Yasmin Paige star in Anna Ziegler's provocative new play Actually.
Amber (Yasmin Paige) and Tom (Simon Manyonda) hook up at a party at their elite American university, and spend the night together. They agree on the drinking, they agree on the attraction, but what actually happened between them?
With wit and urgency, Actually investigates the highly charged topic of sexual consent, the complex intersection of race and gender politics, our crippling desire to fit in, and the three sides to every story.
Directed by Oscar Toeman.
'Undeniably funny, poignant and profound'
New York Magazine
'Gripping. Beautifully rendered and complex'
LA Times
'Explosive, timely and riveting'
The Boston Globe

Simon Manyonda appears in the BBC's upcoming ‘His Dark Materials’ and featured in ‘The Bay’ (ITV) as well as appearing opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Emma Thompson in the BBC production of ‘King Lear’. On stage his recent credits include ‘Barbershop Chronicles’ (National Theatre), ‘Alys, Always’ (Bridge Theatre), ‘The Way of the World’ (Donmar Warehouse) and King Lear with Glenda Jackson (Old Vic).
