Jessica Parks is a leading London Crown Court Judge: brilliant, empathetic, and determined to challenge the system from within. Her courtroom is a place of order and reform—but at home, things are far more complicated. Juggling the pressures of high office with life as a wife, mother, and occasional karaoke queen, Jessica suddenly finds her personal and professional worlds on the brink of collision. When an unexpected event shakes her foundation, the question becomes: how do you hold a family—and yourself—together?
Inter Alia marks the return of writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin, the creative team behind Olivier and Tony Award-winning Prima Facie. This new play offers a powerful exploration of motherhood, modern masculinity, and moral complexity in a world that demands women be everything, everywhere, all at once.
Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike (Saltburn, Gone Girl) makes her National Theatre debut as Jessica. Inter Alia is a timely, gripping, and emotionally raw look at the weight women carry—and the cracks that can’t always be concealed behind the robe.
