A searing new play from the team behind Prima Facie Jessica Parks is smart, compassionate, a true maverick at the top of her career as an eminent London Crown Court Judge. At work she’s changing and challenging the system one case at a time. But behind the robe, Jessica is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. While managing the impossible juggling act faced by every working mother, an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance. Can she hold her family upright? _Rosamund Pike_ (Saltburn) makes her National Theatre debut as Jessica. Writer _Suzie Miller_ and director _Justin Martin_ reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie with this searing examination of modern masculinity and motherhood.
