Prima Facie explores many aspects of life

By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Mar. 10: The play Prima Facie, written by Suzie Miller, explores many aspects of life, focusing on professional ethics, open discussions of complex issues, and the differences between outward statements and the hidden truth.  

The play Prima Facie, currently being staged at Kaushi Theatre, raises important questions that promote social awareness. 

It powerfully shows the professional lives of legal practitioners, injustice faced by individuals, and the struggles that arise. 

Directed by actress and director Akanchha Karki, featuring Pashupati Rai, and translated by Durga Karki, the play contains several deeply moving and emotional scenes.  

Attorney General Sabita Bhandari visited Kaushi Theatre to see the play. 

She said that the play addresses current issues and highlights various aspects of crime investigation, male attitudes, discrimination against women, and broader social viewpoints.  

She said, “Through this play, many questions come up about the courts, government lawyers, police investigations, male attitudes, and our social psychology. It is unclear when or how we will find answers to all these questions.”  

Attorney General Bhandari also mentioned that during her visits to different districts in Nepal, she has seen many instances of social discrimination and violence. She stressed that a fair society can only emerge when mindsets change.  

She said, “There is still much work to do. A new chapter of social change is starting. Over time, we will build a society based on justice and equality and we must build it.”  

Actor Pashupati Rai said that the play aims to raise awareness about various incidents of discrimination and promote discussions for social change, ultimately working to create a new social environment.
