About

Prima Facie is an acclaimed one-woman play written by Australian playwright Suzie Miller. The drama follows Tessa, a confident criminal defence barrister whose certainty in the law fractures when an unexpected event forces her onto the other side of the witness box. As she navigates the legal processes she once championed, she confronts the law's power and blind spots firsthand, discovering how truth is negotiated through procedure and persuasion. Directed by Lee Lewis and starring Sheridan Harbridge, this landmark production has been seen by over 1.2 million people worldwide. The play runs approximately 90 minutes and is presented by Griffin Theatre Company and Andrew Henry Presents.
