Prima Facie

"Prima Facie" - a legal term that means "at first glance"

Tessa Ensler is a young lawyer, talented, funny, and self-assured. She manages to travel a long path with will and talent - from a poor family in a small town, through education at the law faculty at Cambridge, to a specialist in the most prestigious firms. She has dedicated her life to serving a system in which she unconditionally believes. She plays only by the rules. At one moment, her life changes, and the very system is called upon by her to deliver justice. It turns out to be impossible.

"The law is something alive.

Defined by us.

Constructed by us,

based on our experience.

Experienced by all of us,

so that,

we have no more excuses.

There must be change."

Quote from Prima Facie by Suzie Miller

"For years we have been hearing that important issues "must be talked about." We talk. There is still no change. Then, perhaps, besides talking, we should also start acting. Because we need justice. At first glance, it exists. But only at first glance."

Prima Facie was first produced by Griffin Theatre Company at the SBW Stables Theatre, Sydney, on 17 May 2019.

This performance has seating, but there are no specific seats, by row and number. That is why you do not find the option for "seat selection."

Some of the seats are located next to the stage, next to the actor. So you can experience the play, the acting, and the emotion up close. At this performance, you choose where to sit and how to view it.

We must clarify that the seats are filled according to the personal choice of the audience when they enter the hall, and there are no reserved ones.

Due to the specifics of the performance, no audience members are admitted after the start of the event.
