A raw, character-driven story of the #MeToo era, Implied Consent mines the gray areas of relational power.
Implied Consent is a play that examines unbalanced power dynamics across two centuries, illuminating how our society has changed for women, and how it has stayed the same.
In Implied Consent, a writer (Sarah Elizabeth Grace) seeks to reclaim the feminist glory of an ancestor’s lost narrative. But when she returns to her Michigan hometown and reconnects with a childhood mentor (Matt W. Cody), both her subject matter (Adriana Jones)—and her own story—start to slip out of her control. The action jumps between mid-nineteenth-century Saginaw, early 2000’s suburban Detroit, and the present.
