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 Byron Theatre.
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 NORPA's Artistic Associate 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.
In February 2026 NORPA is taking Prima Facie to six Northern Rivers towns — Byron, Tweed, Murwillumbah, Kyogle, Grafton and Lismore — as part of the inaugural Village Circuit, sharing exceptional theatre with towns and communities across the Northern Rivers.
