United Kingdom | 2025 | English | Drama | CTC

Bringing the best of British theatre to the cinema screen, our NT Live series continues with the stage adaptation from the team behind Prima Facie, starring Rosamund Pike (Saltburn, Gone Girl).

Jessica Parks is smart, compassionate, a true maverick at the top of her career as an eminent London Crown Court Judge. At work she’s changing and challenging the system one case at a time. But behind the robe, Jessica is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent.

While managing the impossible juggling act faced by every working mother, an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance. Can she hold her family upright?

Rosamund Pike (Saltburn, Gone Girl) makes her National Theatre debut as Jessica in this searing examination of modern masculinity and motherhood.

Presented by Sydney Opera House and Sharmill Films
