Prima Facie – Arts On Tour NZ
Friday 13th March
7pm
A gripping story you won't want to miss
Tickets $25 | Group4+ $20 | Door Sales $30 (fees apply)
A production with worldwide acclaim from Australian playwright Suzie Miller.
Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up from a working-class background to being a top criminal defence barrister at the top of her game – prosecuting, cross-examining and winning in the courtroom with her quick wit and intelligence.
Fighting to defend those pleading not guilty – including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocent until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of human rights. An unexpected event however forces Tessa to confront the very system she has spent her life believing and working within.
Directed by NZ acting royalty Michael Hurst and performed by Cassandra Woodhouse, NZ Theatre Company and Arts on Tour NZ is honoured to bring Prima Facie to the NZ stage and continue the call to action that this story is demanding worldwide.
“Make sure you see this, it is a superb piece of theatre. A standing ovation says it all.”
Running time 90 minutes no interval plus Q & A, Age 14+ (This show includes themes of sexual assault.)
