Inter Alia

'We're all failing a generation of boys, and therefore we're failing a whole generation of girls.' Jessica Parks is smart, compassionate, and a true maverick at the peak of her career as a London Crown Court Judge. The system needs to change, and she's challenging it one case at a time. Behind the robe, Jessica is a loving wife, a supportive parent and a karaoke fiend. But when an incident involving her son threatens to blow the family apart, she finds herself having to fight for everything she holds dear. A scalding examination of modern masculinity and motherhood, Inter Alia premiered at the National Theatre, London, in 2025, with Rosamund Pike as Jessica. From Suzie Miller and Justin Martin, writer and director of the award-winning global phenomenon Prima Facie, the production received widespread critical acclaim. This edition was published alongside the 2026 West End transfer to Wyndham's Theatre in a co-production with the National Theatre and Playful Productions, featuring the revised, definitive text of the play and an introduction by the playwright.
