First Look: Actually at Trafalgar Studios in Rehearsal

Actually Trafalgar Studios in Rehearsal

Rehearsal images have been released for Actually, which plays at Trafalgar Studios 6th – 31st August, directed by Oscar Toeman.

In our age of fake news, victim shaming and #metoo; and hot on the heels of recent documentaries It Happened One Night (Louis Theroux/ BBC) and Sex on Trial (Channel 4), Actually is an urgent exploration into our need for an absolute truth when faced with opposing versions; can we ever truly know what happened between two people behind closed doors?

Amber and Tom hook up at a party at their elite American university and spend the night together. They agree on the drinking, they agree on the attraction, but what actually happened between them?

       

Through conflicting accounts of a college hook up, Actually boldly delves into the messiest of grey areas and the intersectional complexities of race, religion and gender, controversially picking at our individual biases and internalised prejudices  in ‘he said, she said’ cases of sexual consent.

This is Anna Ziegler’s first play in London since Photograph 51, which starred Nicole Kidman, and won Best New Play and Best Actress at the WhatsOnStage Awards; and the Evening Standard award for Best Actress. Anna’s other plays include The Last Match and Boy.
