PRIMA FACIE

About the show

When the system she spent her career defending fails her, one brilliant attorney is forced to reckon with the gap between the law and justice. Tessa is a brilliant criminal defense attorney who has fought her way to the top of her field, defending men accused of sexual assault. She knows how to win, and she trusts the system that made her success possible. But when the unthinkable happens to her, she finds herself sitting where her clients’ accusers once sat. What follows is a reckoning with the law's patriarchal power and the gap between the burden of proof and truth. Prima Facie by Suzie Miller is an electrifying, award-winning one-woman show that doesn’t just ask what justice means. It demands we do something about it.
