What Is Consenting Adults About?
The premise of Consenting Adults without spoilers.
Fifty years ago a Home Office committee chaired by Wolfenden, then vice‑chancellor of Reading University, recommended decriminalising homosexuality. While this marked a turning point in British social history, a more personal drama unfolded: Jack’s son Jeremy, a brilliant Oxford undergraduate, was gay—a fact his father could not accept, despite his love for his son.
