About this listen
Prima Facie, the award-winning one-woman play written by Australian playwright Suzie Miller, is coming to the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin later this month. It follows the story of Tessa Ensler, a highly successful criminal defence lawyer who specialises in sexual assault cases. When Ensler (played by Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer) is sexually assaulted by a colleague, she suddenly finds herself on the other side of the justice system and learns that the law was not written for victims - and that she is the one on trial.
In today’s episode, Miller joins Róisín Ingle to discuss the play’s global success, the real-world impact it has had on the court system, and why the story has resonated with so many. She also talks about her background growing up as a working-class girl in Australia, where her love of writing came from and about working with Lena Dunham on upcoming projects.
