- **Event Description**: Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie has captivated audiences worldwide — from London’s West End to Broadway. Now, NORPA brings its new original production of this landmark Australian play to Grafton.

Matilda Ridgway stars as Tessa — an ambitious young lawyer at the top of her game. But when a shocking event throws her own life into crisis, she finds herself on the other side of the witness stand, forced to confront the entrenched power of the law. Once a champion of the system, she now faces its cracks and failures firsthand.

Directed by Heather Fairbairn (Bell Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night), this is theatre at its most urgent — a story that challenges, provokes, and resonates deeply with audiences around the world.

NORPA is taking Prima Facie to six Northern Rivers towns as part of the inaugural Village Circuit, sharing exceptional theatre with towns and communities across the Northern Rivers. It will play in Byron, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Kyogle, Grafton and Lismore from 12 – 28 February 2026.
