Overview

  • Comer says she has yet to have a deep, meaningful conversation with a man about the play’s themes.
  • Based on Suzie Miller’s experience as a criminal defence lawyer, the one-woman drama charts barrister Tessa’s shift after her own assault exposes flaws in the legal system.
  • Women have sent piles of letters detailing how the performance affected them and validated their personal experiences.
  • Only a male police officer has written to the production to acknowledge the play’s relevance to his work.
  • Comer will reprise the role for a UK and Ireland tour starting January 23, 2026, opening at Richmond Theatre before visiting eight other cities.
