Prima Facie

In the organizer's words:

Tessa is in her 30s and a successful lawyer. She fought her way through law school, proving time and again how good she is, and over the last few years has earned a reputation for being able to box men out of any kind of accusation. Whether it's drug excesses, corruption or even sexual assault - as long as Tessa is in charge of the defense, a man has little to fear. And she is proud of that. She believes she can provoke weaknesses during cross-examination and exploit the shame of the accusers, is constantly on the lookout for procedural errors, feigns compassion and then strikes with a surprise. For her, every trial is a game, a powerful one that she masters rhetorically and wants to win. Zero empathy for the victims. The presumption of innocence applies. One evening, when Tessa celebrates her success with her lawyer colleague Julian, the two end up in bed together. But the carefree night ends in rape. Suddenly Tessa
on the other side. Can she sue Julian? Who will believe her? Would she survive a trial?

The stirring monodrama by Australian-British author Suzie Miller, who has worked as a criminal defense lawyer herself, premiered in Sydney in 2019, received numerous awards, celebrated great success in London and on Broadway
in New York and has also taken theater stages in Germany by storm.
