schools consent project
Prima Facie proudly supports the Schools Consent Project.
Sexual assault in the US is an epidemic. Every 98 seconds someone in the US is sexually assaulted, with an estimated 735,000 rapes were reported in the US last year.
On the face of it something has to change.
prima faces
Since this production opened we have received hundreds of emails and social posts from both general audiences and survivors of assault, who have had a deep emotional response to the play.
The volume of people sharing their stories because of seeing the production has simply been overwhelming. Recognising the profound effect the play has had on audiences, we created this page on the Prima Facie website that showcases the artwork and also includes a selection of personal stories.
This artwork was displayed at the theatre, at locations around New York and online. A merging of the play and the community of voices it has created all saying in solidarity that ON THE FACE OF IT SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE.
