In Conversation with Suzie Miller

In celebration of International Women's Day, HSF partner Sue Gilchrist had an inspiring conversation with Suzie Miller, an alumna and acclaimed international playwright, screenwriter, and novelist. Suzie generously joined us both for this conversation, and as our guest speaker at our annual National Breast Cancer Foundation fundraising breakfast. It was wonderful to hear from Suzie about her award winning career, her early career as a lawyer at the firm, and how that remains an inspiration for her plays and other works. 
 
Suzie, who splits her time between London and Sydney, has seen her work produced globally, earning numerous prestigious accolades. Notably, her one-woman play, Prima Facie, won the 2023 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and enjoyed sold-out runs in London's West End and on Broadway in New York.
 
After transitioning from a career in human rights law, Suzie has been inspired by intricate human narratives, often delving into themes of injustice. Through Prima Facie, she has and continues to make a significant impact on the discourse and educational landscape surrounding the important issue of sexual consent.
