Why is Justice blind? Is she impartial? Or is she blinkered? Friends 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. Nina Raine’s powerful, painful, funny play sifts the evidence from every side and puts justice herself in the dock. Consent received its world premiere in a co-production with Out of Joint at the National Theatre in April 2017. This archive recording was captured on 9th May, 2017.

Lack of good storyline.
Good concept, poorly executed.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
