Prima Facie
By: Suzie Miller
Directed by: Justin Martin
Starring: Jodie Comer
Sunday, September 25th, 2022 | 3pm
Tessa (Jodie Comer) is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending, cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
"An extraordinarily gutsy and rich performance by Jodie Comer" —Evening Standard

Straight Line Crazy
By: David Hare
Directed by: Nicholas Hytner
Starring: Ralph Fiennes

Saturday, October 15th, 2022 | 3pm
Ralph Fiennes (Antony & Cleopatra) leads the cast in David Hare’s (Skylight) blazing account of the most powerful man in New York, a master manipulator whose legacy changed the city forever.
For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation. Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors.
Faced with resistance by protest groups campaigning for a very different idea of what the city should become, will the weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of his charismatic conviction?
"Fiennes heads an electrifying cast." — Guardian
