PRIMA FACIE | By Suzie Miller | Directed by Lyndee-Jane Rutherford | Starring Mel Dodge | Nelson Arts Festival

Thursday 31st October-Friday 1st November 2024

Tessa is a criminal defence lawyer at the top of her game: defending, cross-examining, playing to win. But when the tables turn, she finds herself at the mercy of this system. After West End and Broadway seasons, don’t miss this exceptional Aotearoa production during its national tour.

Audience Care: Prima Facie deals with the important theme of sexual assault and how the legal system deals with these cases. A sexual assault is described within the play. The actor is fully clothed at all times. The scene is stylised and will be treated with sensitivity. There are court scenes including the character Tessa taking the stand as a witness. Visit https://safetotalk.nz/ for help to do with sexual harm.

**Please note: Tickets for Prima Facie will go on sale alongside our full programme on Friday 30 August 2024.**
