HeLenA WILSOn, Alistair Toovey (left)and gianbruno Spena, who lead Michelle Barnette’s debut play Love Me now into the Tristan Bates Theatre at The Actors Centre, Covent garden, from Tuesday. The play’s director, Jamie Armitage, told me that the drama is Barnette’s response to ‘things like Tinder, and all these concerns about consent within relationsh­ips’. He said the play discusses what the boundaries are and what constitute­s the levels of acceptable (and unacceptab­le) sexual acts. Armitage said it’s a piece that ‘captures the contempora­ry conversati­on’, adding: ‘It’s terrifying — for both sexes.’ Wilson was recently seen in The Lady From The Sea at the Donmar Warehouse, and rosencrant­z And guildenste­rn Are Dead at the Old Vic. Toovey, meanwhile, was in Branden Jacobs- Jenkins’s celebrated play An Octoroon at The Orange Tree in richmond-upon-Thames.
