“Prima Facie,” Suzie Miller’s award-winning play with Jodie Comer, comes to the Orcas Center screen on Wednesday, March 5 at 7 p.m.
Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to be at the top of her game — defending, cross-examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
“Prima Facie” takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End. Rated R, this performance includes sensitive subject matters including references to sex, violence and rape.
Ticket prices range from $10-$63 with an additional $2 ticketing fee. Tickets are available online at www.OrcasCenter.org by phone at 360-376-2281 ext 100, or in person at the box office an hour prior.
