The Nelson Theatre Collective is thrilled to present “Prima Facie” at The Suter’s Pastorius Waller Theatre!
Join us for this gripping play where Tessa, a young and brilliant barrister, rises from her working-class roots to the pinnacle of her profession. She excels in defending, cross-examining, and winning cases. However, an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law, where the burden of proof and morality diverge. Tessa finds herself in a world where emotion and integrity clash with the rules of the game.
“Prima Facie” was named Best New Play in London in 2023.
Doors open at 7pm. Show starts 7.30pm SHARP.
Don't miss out on this powerful performance!
Show runs over 4 nights, 21-24 May, 2025.
Audience Care Note:
This show includes themes of sexual assault and is recommended for audiences aged 16 and above. Prima Facie is a one-woman show that explores the important themes of sexual assault and the legal system's handling of such cases. A sexual assault is described within the play, but the actor remains fully clothed at all times. The scene is stylized and treated with sensitivity. Additionally, there are court scenes, including the character Tessa taking the stand as a witness.
