Inter Alia @ Lyttelton Theatre...

Last Thursday night, Stuart and I made our way to the glitzy South Bank and ended up in a courtroom of conscience at the Lyttelton Theatre (@nationaltheatre). Suzie Miller's (@suziemillerwriter) Inter Alia is what you’d get if Prima Facie had a second act and a sharper legal brief. Similarly urgent, but with a chillier, more deliberate burn. It's Adolescence - but for older teens.

At the centre of it all is Rosamund Pike (@mspike), delivering a performance so exquisitely measured you suspect she keeps her emotions filed in alphabetical order. Trying to keep cool and composed, but often failing' hers is an utterly compelling performance. She handles script like a barrister cross-examining her own sense of morality.

She’s backed by an excellent cast too. 

The writing is needle-sharp: just enough legal jargon to make it ring true and lots of satisfying lyrical tension. There’s not a lot of shouting here - just precision, pace, and the kind of silences that echo. You laugh, wince, and occasionally catch yourself nodding like a juror who’s been won over before the verdict.

The Lyttelton’s stage becomes a crucible — no need for theatrics when the truth is this well lit.

Not quite as raw as Prima Facie, but equally haunting. Inter Alia doesn’t grab you — it sits you down and explains what yor probably suspected from the get go.
