Prima Facie

Something has to change.
Tessa is a criminal defence lawyer at the top of her game and loving it: defending, cross-examining and playing the rules of the law to win.
But when the tables turn, she finds herself at the mercy of the very system she has dedicated her life to. Shadows of doubt are illuminated, making us question, who is our legal system serving?
Turning our courts of law into a different kind of stage, this sharp, witty and gripping one-woman show has sold out throughout Australia, the West End and on Broadway.
Written by Suzie Miller, direct from Circa Theatre, this phenomenal production stars Mel Dodge and continues an urgent conversation for Aotearoa.
