About Prima Facie
Australian playwright Suzie Miller’s razor-sharp writing has found extraordinary success around the world. The original Australian production of her acclaimed one-woman play Prima Facie returns in a true homecoming, starring Sheridan Harbridge and directed by Lee Lewis.
Tessa is a confident criminal defence barrister who thrives in the courtroom. She believes in the rules, in the discipline of evidence, and in the idea that the law can deliver justice if you know how to work it. That certainty fractures when an unexpected event forces her onto the other side of the witness box, and the system she once trusted becomes a process she must endure.
As Tessa navigates the process she once championed, she confronts its power and its blind spots firsthand. The courtroom shifts from a place of control to a place of exposure, where truth is negotiated and lived experience struggles to fit the language of proof.
Seen by over 1.2 million people worldwide, Prima Facie is 90 minutes of emotionally gripping theatre that stays with you long after the final moment.

More information about Prima Facie
★★★★★ “This is an urgent and compelling work: one that should be as widely seen for its craft, just as much as its subject matter should be better understood by our politicians, lawmakers and general public. Run, don’t walk.” - Time Out
__★★★★½ "The power of Miller’s script finds its match in both performer and production. Sheridan Harbridge is open, raw and technically impressive as Tessa, offering up a perfectly calibrated performance full of emotional truth." - Limelight
★★★★ "Sheridan Harbridge is superb as Tessa. Combative, controlled and clear-sighted in the first half, her decimation in the second is all the more gut-wrenching in this intense production directed by Lee Lewis." - Sydney Morning Herald
