Sue Green

I really enjoyed the play, because we changed seats once it started. one of the seats the view was very limited the other wasn't both cost the same this didn't seem right.

irene morgan

Brillant ,clever and funny play that keep you thinking and questioning on difficult subjects : truth, lies, interpretations, pain, revanche, justice . Fantastic performances ! I really enjoyed it .

Meg Nutt

This is an extraordinary piece of writing - my first experience of Nina Raine's work and I was blown away! Superb direction - emotionally real performances by all the actors - crisp and ingenious scene changes. The serious plot lines were injected with humour, rawness and poignancy - beautifully balanced. I would say that this is a play which MUST be seen.

Martin Concannon

Really enjoyed Consent for the second time, came down from Manchester (worth the journey, thought provoking stuff..

Elizabeth Sutherland

Extremely thought provoking and powerful. Well acted and entertaining. Left theatre with all kinds of thoughts buzzing around my head which in my book means a good visit to the West End!

Joanne Dorning

Very raw, real and relatable. The actors were excellent and really portrayed a whole spectrum of emotions in a very believable way. Many of the situations brought back memories from my own life. Very enjoyable!

Keith Hawes

Good play, awful seat. Absolutely impossible to sit as the leg room was insufficient

Roy Swanston

A very interesting play about an equally challenging subject; however, i'm not sure it required the constant use of such bad language.

Sarla Malde

comfortable theatre and seats. helpful staff. The theme was excellent. Acting was fairly mediocre. some good one liners. The over use of 'f' word completely spoiled the enjoyment.Found that to be quite an insult to the intelligence of the audience.That was serious poverty of language. Sarla

Balaka Fell-Holden

Powerful story, very relevant for our times. Well acted although some of the female voices did not carry very well and it was difficult to hear them.

lorraine collins

Very emotionally charged, great plot development and sub texts

Consent Review: No means no, yes?

Nina Raine’s West End transfer of Consent could not have come at a better time. With the #metoo campaign gaining momentum daily (as it should), Consent manages to open up our eyes just a little bit further to an issue that is often brushed under the rug.

Consent

Consent is ultimately a play about relationships. The relationships they have with their friends, their lovers and in the case of Ed (Stephen Campbell-Moore) and Tim (Lee Ingleby) their clients in a rape trial. Whilst the issue of Consent often appears it is often in the context of these relationships and what happens when consent breaks down or wrongly assumed to be given.
