Summary:

"This special edition of the international hit play Prima Facie features the definitive version of the award-winning script, together with colour photographs 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"--Back cover
