New drama Consent<\/a> lands on our screens this week, and as well as being an important tale based on true events, it\u2019s also home to a cast of stellar rising talent.<\/p>\n

The Channel 4 drama is a drama that \u201cspeaks to young people about one of the most urgent issues in their lives\u201d and is presented with \u201can energy and style that will cut through and trigger debate across age groups\u201d, according to the broadcaster\u2019s commissioning editor, Rita Daniels.<\/p>\n

We follow Natalie as she gets a scholarship to an elite private school, and although she\u2019s deemed an \u2018outsider\u2019 by those around her, she bonds with Archie, the rich high achiever. But when boundaries are crossed one night at a party, their trust is broken and the school must deal with the accusations. How will they cope with the allegations made against \u2018one of their own\u2019?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s set to be one hour of tense, topical television, but who stars in the new film<\/a>? Read on to learn all about the cast and characters in Consent.<\/p>
