It was so interesting to learn more about the play and the playwright. Thank you so much for this fascinating discussion!

wow! very concentrated top level perspectives on how significant beliefs, cultural circumstances and the need to enjoy making the most of what we've got : ( including transform😅ng legacy from the recent past and interpretation of our current moment to make ) choices that will affect ours and others future !

Saw this play four times when it was on in the West End - one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen, loved it so much

another great episode!

That's a great initiative

I think Nina's recap of the plot highlights one of the biggest issues with the play. All that is mentioned is the petty conflicts of the middle class couples with the working class victim being an afterthought. Despite the title being 'Consent' it is an issue that is barely explored in place for a soap opera story about a group of very unlikeable and privileged group of people. Too many dinner parties, too many Tories, too much sympathy for Edward who is arguably the most despicable character. Instead of properly challenging the justice system which makes it extremely difficult for woman to lock up rapists and sexual abusers it seems to apologise for it, accept it and it just didn't feel right to me. The moments with Gayle are the most interesting and challenging parts of the play. She is seldom featured or given a true voice and just when it looks like she is at the end of the first act she is killed off and quickly forgotten only to be jammed in as a ghost in the final scene. This play had a lot of potential but unfortunately fell short due to it's writers privileged, restricted upper middle class lens.

This is great. Really really good, but so many adverts.

Interesting

I love this play so, so, so much and I have since I first read it a few years ago. I really hope that the National Theatre brings it to their streaming platform because I have never seen it in performance, and with Denise Gough reviving the role... I am dying to see it! 😍 I haven't listened to the podcast episode yet (😅🤣), but I saw it and jumped. I have added it to my morning jogging playlist and can't wait to hear it!

nice work

Ibsen is always food for thought. Like life is. Interesting conversation.

I just saw this play last night at the Yale Rep and had such an incredible experience, and I saw it - appropriately perhaps - alone. Getting to hear this conversation about the play is so wonderful after not being able to discuss it with anyone!

Every Ibsen play has relevance to all of us today. We appear to be having the same society issues 120 years later.

Directors are clinging on race as a theme. Look at the history of productions in the U.K. to see how when Othello was played by a white actor in blackface, Othello was the main role. Now that Othello is played by a black actor, Iago is the main character.

This is an absolutely fascinating conversation! Thank you so much!

...EXCUSE...ME. !! ....The Tarantella is. NOT. " frantic "......get a grip. !!

Amazing podcast! Thank you so much! It would be great if we could hear Professor Jordan's opinion about other McDonagh's plays!

Extremely interesting discussion!

Please do not censor this post as it is the opinion of English playwright *David Hare* , and the link provided has the actual opinion expressed by David Hare himself. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hare_(playwright) *David Hare* thinks Oleanna is a terribly mysoginist play He summarises it saying that it's a play that says that " *a woman is always faking when she claims rape* " Here is David Hare expressing his opinion ruclips.net/video/xtvlJVIJnRU/видео.html

Talk about spirals within spirals. This story is like quicksand

17:00 on the speaker claims Heisenberg says it’s possible. Cost would not have entered the conversation on wether to move forward in Germany. Maybe Heisenberg wanted to conspire with physicists to try to hide the possibilities of nuclear weaponry.

I've just read the play, unfortunately I won't be able to see it on stage, Corona is beckoning - , but I do hope it's going to be on the Nat.Theatre at home.

Great podcast! Gave me further insight that was helpful for my contemporary literature final
