About this Event
Join Cloisters Chambers for a powerful evening with Olivier Award-winning playwright Suzie Miller, creator of the globally acclaimed Prima Facie (currently on tour around the UK) and the incisive new work Inter Alia, which opens at the Wyndham Theatre on 19 March, following a sold out run at the National Theatre last year. Suzie’s writing has transformed public understanding of justice, accountability, and the systemic treatment of women both within the legal profession and across society.
Held in recognition of International Women’s Day 2026 and its theme, “Give to Gain,” this event reflects the power of giving voice, expertise and platform in order to generate lasting social impact. Suzie’s work exemplifies this principle: by giving legal narratives to the public sphere, she has enabled audiences to gain deeper understanding of the structures that shape justice and inequality.
We are delighted that Suzie will be in conversation with Cloisters’ own Rachel Crasnow KC, Chair of the Bar Council’s Equality, Diversity and Social Mobility (EDSM) Committee. Rachel drafted the Terms of Reference for the Harman Review and served on the Review’s Reference Group, contributing directly to one of the most significant examinations of cultural and procedural norms at the Bar in recent years.
Together, their discussion will explore how legal practice, lived experience, and artistic storytelling can converge not only to critique existing systems, but to reshape them. In the spirit of “Give to Gain,” the evening will consider how the legal profession’s willingness to give leadership, transparency and accountability can generate a more inclusive and credible future.
At a moment when the questions raised by Suzie’s work have never felt more urgent (including in light of the Harman Review’s findings), this event offers a timely and thought-provoking examination of what justice truly requires: procedurally, culturally, and structurally. Through bold and deeply human narratives, Suzie illuminates how legal frameworks and societal norms both shape and constrain the pursuit of justice and how giving voice to lived experience can open pathways to reform.
All proceeds will go to The Schools Consent Project, a charity founded in 2015 that delivers lawyer-led workshops on consent and the law to UK schools. Through interactive sessions, it helps young people understand their rights, responsibilities, and how to respect boundaries. Over the past decade, more than 80,000 students worldwide have taken part, supported by a network of 300+ volunteer lawyers.
