A forensic cross-examination of our times, from Broadway to book.
Suzie Miller’s disturbingly prescient play, Prima Facie, dramatises the price sexual assault victims pay for speaking out.
This blistering one-woman show wowed audiences on Broadway and the West End, winning Suzie an Olivier Award and Killing Eve favourite Jodie Comer a Tony for her performance as the brilliant young barrister who, one sickening night, finds herself thrust into the flawed justice system.
Put the courts on trial with Suzie and writer and podcaster Nicole Abadee, as they discuss Prima Facie’s adaptation into a gripping novel and screenplay set to star Cynthia Erivo.
Suzie Miller is an Australian contemporary international playwright, screenwriter and novelist. Prima Facie is her first novel. Her work has been produced around the world, winning multiple prestigious awards, including the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play 2023 for her smash hit one-woman play Prima Facie, which had a sold out season on London's West End and Broadway New York. Miller is educated in science and law with a doctorate in drama and mathematics. She practised human rights law before writing full time and is currently developing major projects in theatre, literature and screen.
Nicole Abadee has worked in the book industry for many years after her previous career as a barrister. She writes about books for Good Weekend, and is also a regular contributor to their much loved Two of Us column. She appears regularly as a facilitator at writers' festivals and literary events. She also has a popular podcast, Books, Books, Books in which she interviews top Australian and international writers about their latest books.
