An acclaimed Oliver and Tony award-winning play, Suzie Miller’s "Prima Facie" is an unforgettable story and one-woman tour de force.

Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up from a working-class background to being a top criminal defense barrister at the top of her game – prosecuting, cross-examining and winning in the courtroom with her quick wit and intelligence.
