PRIMA FACIE New Zealand Tour 2024
The highly successful one-woman play Prima Facie about a criminal defense barrister whose view of the legal system changes after she is sexually assaulted will be touring to various regions in New Zealand.
About the project
After a sell out season at Circa Theatre in Wellington, this production was granted the rights to tour New Zealand. Borrin Foundation funding will enable Prima Facie to travel to smaller regions throughout the country. The production also runs Q&As after the show where both the public and lawyers can attend, with a Criminal Defence Barrister from each region joining the panel discussion.
The production also has a comprehensive secondary school education pack including video resources of interviews with the creative team for students.
Grant amount
$25,000 +GST contribution towards the re-design for touring and the tour

BRAVE Theatre was established in 2007 with the purpose of creating brave plays which champion women’s stories. Our work has toured throughout New Zealand, Australia and has been shown at the Edinburgh Fringe.
