Beschreibung

This special edition of the international hit play Prima Facie features the definitive version of the award-winning script, together with colour photos and exclusive additional content, giving you a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into the making of the production and the issues it explores.
In the play, Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister who has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and winning. But when an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law – where the burden of proof and morality diverge – she finds herself in a world where emotion and integrity are in conflict with the rules of the game.
After acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, Prima Facie received its European premiere in a sold-out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2022 starring Jodie Comer in her West End debut. It was named Best New Play at both the 2023 Olivier and WhatsOnStage Awards. A filmed version, released in 2022, went on to become the highest-grossing event cinema release ever in the UK.
This edition, published alongside Prima Facie's Broadway transfer in 2023, includes contributions from writer Suzie Miller, actor Jodie Comer, director Justin Martin, producer James Bierman and other key members of the creative team, letting you go deeper into the world of the play. There are also essays on the legal context and how the play has become a vehicle for change in attitudes towards the treatment of female victims of sexual assault.

    "Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
    It is a journey. A transformation. 
    A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
    Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
    In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
    Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
    What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
    How we curl up when it gets too much. 
    How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
    How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
    And how we might eventually come to realize: 
    We were never "just a dot." 
    We are a story in motion. 
    With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
    your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
    A book to read slowly. 
    And feel for a long time.

    'You're not stupid for wanting things to change, Fanny – it's just that we have to play the music that gets handed to us.'
    Meet Fanny Mendelssohn. You'll probably know of her younger brother Felix, from nineteenth-century smash hits like 'The Wedding March'. He was such a huge star that Queen Victoria requested a private concert, during which she sang her favourite of his compositions, a song called 'Italien'.
    The only problem is, that particular piece was actually composed by Fanny, though it was published under her brother's name.
    When Fanny intercepts the letter inviting Felix to play for the queen, she decides to hide it away, don her brother's clothes, and take his place at the palace…
    Calum Finlay's play Fanny is a joyful and irreverent comedy celebrating music, family and – at last – the work of a composer overlooked because of her sex. It opened at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2024.
