OM FORESTILLINGEN
PRODUCER: SILJE VIGERUST VINJAR
BY SUZIE MILLER. TRANSLATED BY AGNES BANACH.

Tessa is a young, successful defence lawyer who has worked her way to the top of her field; cross-examining, defending, and winning. Everything seems to be going her way.
But one evening, she is suddenly thrust into a situation where she must challenge the very system she once controlled. The invincible Tessa now fights her greatest battle, grappling with the same doubt she has cast over others.
Prima Facie takes us to the difficult intersection where life meets the rules of the law.
Prima Facie is thought-provoking, brutally honest, and deeply moving. A play that stays with you long after the curtain falls.

The production has received numerous awards and has toured globally in London, New York, and stages around the world. With Riksteatret and Nationaltheatret, audiences across 45 venues nationwide will have the opportunity to experience this gripping and relevant production in their local area.

Prima Facie – a (Latin) legal term meaning apparently or at first glance.
