NT Live - Inter Alia.
Rosamund Pike is Jessica in the much-anticipated new play from Australian writer Suzie Miller and the team behind Prima Facie.
Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica Parks - a smart Crown Court Judge at the top of her career. Behind the robe, she is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, can she hold her family upright?
Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie, with this searing examination of modern motherhood and masculinity.
The cast also includes Jamie Glover as Michael and Jasper Talbot as Harry.
