ABOUT THE SHOW

Award-winning playwright Suzie Miller – author of the acclaimed one-woman show and novel Prima Facie – is back with another penetrating exploration of justice and gender politics. Inter Alia, which premiered at London’s National Theatre in 2025 starring Rosamund Pike, follows an accomplished Crown Court judge whose efforts to change the system from within collide with a devastating incident involving her own son.

Join Suzie as she discusses the process of writing stories for the stage and using fiction to illuminate the complexities and contradictions of the law.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Suzie Miller is a multi-award-winning Australian/British writer whose international contemporary stories explore humanity and dismantle complex structural hierarchies. She holds academic qualifications in Science, Law, and Theatre, utilizing this diverse background to anchor her narratives in profound real-world stakes. Before pursuing her creative career full-time, Miller spent fifteen years practicing human rights and criminal justice law, an experience that heavily informs her sharp, empathetic focus on women and the legal system. Her phenomenal debut novel, Prima Facie —adapted from her smash-hit solo play—became an instant bestseller and has been translated into ten languages. Miller’s theatrical works continue to be staged globally, enjoying prestigious runs on London’s West End and Broadway, New York, as well as main stages in fifty different countries. She is married with two adult children and continuously migrates between her two homes in London and Sydney.

Frances Whiting is one of Australia’s most awarded feature writers, the woman behind Australia’s longest newspaper column, and the author of Walking on Trampolines, The Best Kind of Beautiful, and now the book that eveyone from Liane Moriarty to Sally Hepworth is talking about, The Nocturnals.
