It's taken me a few days since seeing Griffin Theatre Company and Queensland Theatre's production of Prima Facie to write this review, as I've been struggling with finding the right words to summarise what a profound and confronting impact playwright Suzie Miller has threaded through her words, director Lee Lewis has shaped into life on stage and actor Sheridan Harbridge breathed into existence.

The acclaimed Sheridan Harbridge performs the career-defining role of Tessa, a brilliant criminal defence lawyer - a winner at the top of her game - who finds herself on the other side of the bar when a date becomes an assault. Does she risk her career or stay silent in a patriarchal justice system where it's her word against his? If Tessa believes in the law, will it believe in her?

Griffin Theatre Company and Seymour Centre will present Suzie Miller's sharp and poignant play, Prima Facie (winner of the 2018 Griffin Award), from 23rd June to 10th July at Seymour Centre.

Premiering from 16 – 20 December at Belvoir St Theatre, 44 *** Acts in One Week is part gig, part radio-play and part stab in the dark, in a subversive and joyful response to the madness that was 2020.
