We asked playwright Suzie Miller about the incredible global journey of Prima Facie, and why she’s excited Northern Rivers audiences now get to see her work.

Suzie Miller is an internationally acclaimed playwright, screenwriter and novelist with degrees in law and science, and is drawn to complex human stories. Her works have been produced globally and earned major awards. Suzie’s breakthrough play Prima Facie won Olivier and Tony awards and has been staged in London, Broadway and across the world. She is currently developing new theatre, film and TV projects across Australia, the UK and the US.

NORPA’S new original production of Prima Facie, directed by Heather Fairbairn, tours the Northern Rivers from 12 — 28 Feb 2026, playing in Byron, Tweed, Murwillumbah, Kyogle, Grafton and Lismore.
