There's Still Tomorrow 2023
C’è Ancora Domani deploys domestic realism to trace a housewife’s quiet rebellion in postwar Italy. The secret meetings and hidden suitcase initially hint at a forbidden affair, but the truth—her fight for women’s voting rights—reframes mundane chores as political acts. “Where would I run?” she asks, seeing her daughter mirror her own trapped marriage. While the shift from kitchen-sink drama to historic pivot points feels a bit abrupt, it sharpens the film’s thesis—individual escape is futile without systemic change.

National Theatre Live: Prima Facie 2022
Prima Facie exposes how legal systems weaponise procedure against trauma. In this solo drama, a barrister’s sexual assault case collapses her faith in courtroom theatrics. The performer’s body becomes the script—her posture shifting from legal swagger to vulnerability as cross-examinations dissect lived pain into “admissible evidence.” A chair transforms from witness stand to interrogation tool, mirroring institutions that force survivors to fit male-defined narratives. When legal protocols eclipse human experience in key scenes, the play achieves its sharpest critique: justice often demands victims contort themselves to be deemed credible. Subtlety isn’t the goal here—the scalpel’s incision is.
