About Consent
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).

More information about Consent
Nina Raine’s brilliantly clever play “Consent” follows the professional and private lives of two lawyers who go head-to head inside the courtroom, but are good friends outside. As revelations come to light and accusations of misconduct are made, things get complicated for the pair and their partners. The show is peppered with themes typical of Greek tragedies but brings them to life in a modern way, exploring how morals and legality plays a part in relationships, and how the line between right and wrong is blurred. The couples must determine right from wrong for themselves, but can they put aside their emotions and biases? Directed by Roger Michell and following a sold out run at the National Theatre last year, and with a largely new cast, this contemporary play at the Harold Pinter Theatre couldn’t be more relevant for the #MeToo generation.
What to watch for
The show originally opened in 2017 at the Dorfman Theatre at the National Theatre on London’s Southbank.
It previously starred Anna Maxwell Martin and Ben Chaplin. Director Roger Michell is also married to Anna.
Writer Nina Raine and Roger had previously worked together on her play “Tribes” at the Royal Court in 2010.
Roger is mostly known for his film career, having directed many iconic British films, including “Notting Hill”, “Venus” and “Enduring Love”.
