She's worked her way up to being a top criminal defense barrister against all the odds, and fights to defend those pleading not guilty. Tessa believes in the law, believes in the system. Her quick-witted cross-examinations and intelligence in the courtroom see her clocking up win after win - including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocence until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of a civilized society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when Tessa is raped by a coworker, she struggles to find the strength to bring him to justice in the face of the barriers and opposition within that same system.

She fights on, even as her evidence is manipulated to make her look like a liar, even while she is retraumatized in the stand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on the Olivier and Tony Award-winning play, Suzie Miller's \u003ci\u003ePrima Facie\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable story of what happens when a victim is asked to navigate a system that is not set up to accommodate the lived experience of sexual assault survivors.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzie Miller\u003c\/b\u003e is a contemporary international playwright, screenwriter, and novelist.
