Suzie Miller Bücher

Das Gesetz ist dazu da, ALLE Menschen zu beschützen. Oder? Tessa Ensler ist die auffälligste unter den jungen Strafverteidiger: innen Londons. Sie entstammt nicht einer jener angesehenen Familien mit old money. Sie hat sich aus einem Klima häuslicher Gewalt befreit und aus der Arbeiter: innenklasse hochgearbeitet. Heute verteidigt sie unter anderem Männer, die wegen sexueller Übergriffe angeklagt sind. Ihre Art, Zeuginnen – die mutmaßlichen Opfer – ins Kreuzverhör zu nehmen, ist legendär und wird zu ihrer Eintrittskarte in den inner circle der Anwaltskammern. Es scheint, als hätte sie es geschafft. Doch dann passiert etwas, das ihren Glauben an das Gesetz tief erschüttert, und sie entscheidet sich, selbst in den Zeug: innenstand zu treten.

Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and winning. But an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law, where the burden of proof and morality diverge. Prima Facie by Suzie Miller is an award-winning play for a solo actor, taking us deep into a world where emotion and integrity are in conflict with the rules of the game. After several acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, the play received its European premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in April 2022. It was produced by Empire Street Productions, directed by Justin Martin, and starred Jodie Comer, the Emmy and Bafta Award-winning star of TV's Killing Eve, making her West End debut.

A special edition of the international hit play, featuring the definitive version of the award-winning script, together with colour photos and exclusive additional content.

At Sunset Strip the only people left are those who couldn't leave. Arriving home after a bout of chemotherapy to this once thriving summer hot-spot, Caroline finds the lake completely dried up, the holiday-makers long gone. Yet her younger sister, the ever-optimistic Phoebe, remains doggedly hopeful. Between a stint in rehab, caring for her demented Dad (who has a penchant for training goldfish) and losing her kids temporarily to DOCS, Phoebe has managed to find love in Teddy, a local fallen fella with a big heart. And now that Caroline is back, Phoebe is determined to make life fabulous.

It takes a lifetime to build a career with integrity and a single tweet to unravel it. Anna Kay, top-rating television journalist, mother and wife is now a news subject herself, and the haters are piling on. Her decision to leave a loveless marriage and pursue an affair with a recent source incites the wrath of the masses and threatens her credibility, all as she prepares to break the biggest story of her career. Truth at all costs, but who gets to set the price? Inspired by Anna Karenina, SUZIE MILLER's Anna K is an urgent, timely and deeply moving investigation of what happens when a woman dares to defy society and live her own truth in the age of cancel culture.
