Good Weekend Talks

A just cause: why Suzie Miller quit law to write plays


Listen Later

The thing Suzie Miller loves most about storytelling is the ability to interrogate the systems we’ve constructed as a society. “And of course,” she says, “the biggest one of all of those is the legal system.”

Miller and her work are the subject of Good Weekend’s cover story this week, “Second Act”, by London-based freelance writer Jane Wheatley, who joins the podcast from Britain along with Miller herself. Hosted by Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland, this episode explores everything from one-woman plays to #MeToo to book and screen deals for Miller and her upcoming Sydney Theatre Company debut – a play celebrating the life of the late American jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
