Rosamund Pike gives a hectic, vital, riveting performance at the centre of Suzie Miller’s gut-punch of a play, as a judge, Jess Parks, who discovers that the toxic masculinity she sees in the courtroom has taken root in her own home.
Onstage and constantly in motion for an uninterrupted 105 minutes she slips in and out of robes and stylish off-duty wear, faces down pompous barristers (including her own husband) and mounts a raucous dinner party, irons shirts and lets loose at girls’ night karaoke. All while keeping up an amused, complicit commentary for us on how her gender impacts her professional and personal life.
