An explosive and thought-provoking play from the author of Girls Like That, exploring what happens when buried secrets catch up with you.
As Head of Year 11, Diane is meant to be implementing the new 'Healthy Relationships' curriculum. But then Freddie arrives. She hasn't seen him since that night six years earlier when he was fifteen.

Evan Placey's Consensual was first performed by the National Youth Theatre in their 2015 West End season.
