Review: PRIMA FACIE at State Theatre Centre
PRIMA FACIE is a powerful one-person play by Suzie Miller that explores the complex perception of sexual assault survivors from the point of view of a lawyer hopelessly dedicated to the law. The play explores the legal system and its impact on sexual assault survivors, and Sophia Forrest’s performance coupled with the minimalist staging gives the audience no choice but fully confront these issues.
Review: PRIMA FACIE at Pumphouse
Michael Hurst’s direction ensures that the play’s heavy themes are expertly managed, bringing a sharp focus to Tessa's internal and external battles. The staging is both minimalist and effective, allowing the strength of the script and the power of Woodhouse’s performance to shine through.
