Complex Themes of Family, the Legal System and Modern Identity
NT Live: Inter Alia - a new play by Suzie Miller will feature on the Torch Theatre screen this September. Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica in the much-anticipated new play from the team behind smash hit, Prima Facie.
Jessica Parks is a smart Crown Court Judge at the top of her career. Behind the robe, she is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, can she hold her family upright?
Awarded four stars by Emma John in the Guardian, she describes the play as a “searing commentary on the justice system and a purposefully uncomfortable insight into contemporary parenting.”
Emma adds: “Jessica Parks (Pike) is the kind of multi-skilled woman you just know the legal system needs more of. She brings humanity and compassion to her courtroom, employing her soft skills to protect vulnerable witnesses while cutting down cocky male counsel with a tone that can “cut through tendons and bone”. But she’s not just a crown court judge, she’s also an expert juggler, in the way that high-achieving women so often need to be.”
Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie, with this searing examination of modern motherhood and masculinity.
NT Live: Inter Alia will feature on the Torch Theatre screen on Thursday 18 September at 7pm. Price: £15.00 | £13.00 Cons | £8.50 Under 26. Visit the website for further details www.torchtheatre.co.uk / phone the Box Office on (01646) 695267 or click here.
