Casting actors for "Prima Facie" play. See the details below. About the project: Tessa is a brilliant criminal defense attorney who has fought her way to the top of her field, defending men accused of sexual assault. She knows how to win, and she trusts the system that made her success possible. But when the unthinkable happens to her, she finds herself sitting where her clients' accusers once sat. What follows is a reckoning with the law's patriarchal power and the gap between the burden of proof and truth.
