Nina Raine’s critically-acclaimed ‘modern classic’ (The Times) Consent, makes a timely and triumphant transfer to the Harold Pinter Theatre for a strictly limited season.
What is justice, what is vengeance, and which is right? Friends take opposing briefs in a contentious legal 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.
Directed by Roger Michell, Consent takes a searing look at the law whilst putting modern relationships into the dock in ‘a play you’ll be talking about for a long time to come’ (Radio Times).
★★★★★
'A Modern Classic... a hotly topical play with as much human life as we've seen on the West End stage for a long time'.
The Times
★★★★★
'Essential viewing. This is a play you’ll be talking about for a long time to come'.
Radio Times
★★★★
'Riveting account of imploding metropolitan lives. This piece couldn’t be more timely'.
The Telegraph
★★★★
'This bracingly clever, bleakly funny play offers no easy answers to any of its questions: what is justice, what is vengeance, and which is right?'.
The Guardian
★★★★
'A vivid, thoughtful and immensely resonant play'.
Financial Times
'Nina Raine’s brilliant... moral thriller... that’s won new relevance in the #MeToo era'.
