Who holds more sway in society, a lawyer or a playwright? Suzie Miller tells us it’s the latter. A former lawyer, Miller left the courtroom for the stage, writing her best-known play, Prima Facie, in 2023. The show, starring Jodie Comer as a British barrister who defends men accused of sexual assault until she is assaulted herself, was a sensation in the West End and on Broadway. Miller is now digging deeper with a new play that examines what it means to raise boys today. Rosamund Pike plays Jessica Parks, a successful Crown Court judge in London who has to balance her career with the demands of marriage and motherhood. At work, she rules on sexual assault cases. At home, she tries to educate her son in a world saturated with porn and online misogyny. Everything goes smoothly, until one day a single event threatens to upend what she’s built. Mainly a monodrama, with Pike taking on multiple roles, the play also features actors as her husband and son. Justin Martin, Miller’s collaborator on Prima Facie, returns to direct. —Jeanne Malle
