About the event
Suzie Miller's acclaimed one-woman play Prima Facie reunites actor Sheridan Harbridge and director Lee Lewis for a strictly limited Sydney season. Tessa is a confident criminal defence barrister who thrives in the courtroom, believing in the rules and the law's capacity to deliver justice. Her certainty fractures when an unexpected event forces her onto the other side of the witness box, transforming the legal system she once championed into a process she must endure. As Tessa navigates familiar procedures from a new perspective, the courtroom shifts from a place of control to a place of exposure, where truth is negotiated through procedure and persuasion rather than lived experience. This landmark production has been seen by over 1.2 million people worldwide and delivers 90 minutes of emotionally gripping theatre.
