Andy Webb announces his cast for Consent by Nina Raine, which is our second show in the new year. “Consent is about sex, rape, infidelity, betrayal, justice and revenge; it’s a terrific script with some wonderful combative dialogue.

We had a good mix of current, former and new members and lots of acting talent to choose from – though we resisted the temptation to test out their football skills! Thanks also to my assistant director Kim Goldsmith and SLT stalwart Tom Watts for […]
