On show for a year, “À PRIMEIRA VISTA” has been a phenomenon since its premiere in July 2024, having recorded successive sold-out performances at Teatro Maria Matos.
The show finally arrives in Porto, where it will be on show at Teatro Sá da Bandeira from November 21st to December 7th. New dates for Lisbon, starting on September 22nd, are also now available.
To mark the show’s premiere in Porto, Força de Produção is offering its subscribers a 20% discount on ticket purchases for the performances at Teatro Sá da Bandeira. The discount is already in effect and is valid for all purchases made at physical and online sales points, upon presentation of the code 1vista20 until July 31st.
Margarida Vila-Nova shines in the Portuguese version of Suzie Miller’s À PRIMEIRA VISTA, directed by Tiago Guedes. At once a powerful monologue and a breathtaking legal thriller, À PRIMEIRA VISTA (PRIMA FACIE) is one of the most recognised plays of recent years. An incisive examination of power, consent and the law, it has won numerous awards and nominations, most notably Tony, Lawrence Olivier, What’s on Stage, Drama Desk, Evening Standard and Australian Writers’ Guild.
Synopsis:
Teresa is a brilliant young lawyer. Coming from a humble working-class family, she has risen through her own merit and hard work, establishing herself as a gifted defence attorney. She defends, cross-examines and wins case after case over and over again. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, the burden of proof and morality diverge, at a crossroads where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
