Tessa, a young and brilliant barrister, has achieved remarkable success in her career, rising from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of her profession. She has excelled in defending, cross-examining, and securing victories for her clients.

Prima Facie, an award-winning play by Suzie Miller, delves deep into this complex world, exploring the clash between emotion and integrity and the strict rules governing the legal profession.

She faces challenges that test her moral compass and forces her to question the institutions she has worked so hard to uphold.

Prima Facie is a testament to Suzie Miller's talent as a playwright and the power of theatre to engage, inspire, and challenge its audience.
