Inter Alia: Between Law, Family, and Self-Image
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, a space of tension between public role and private life opens up in the Great House of the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus. Inter Alia by Suzie Miller tells the story of the esteemed judge Jessica Parks, who is also a mother, wife, friend, and karaoke enthusiast in addition to her profession.
A Judge Between Judgment and Everyday Life
The title translates to 'among other things' and refers to the many identities that come together in Jessica Parks. The stage character navigates between legal authority, family responsibility, and personal desires. It is precisely from this friction that the dramaturgy develops its emotional power: The societal image of the sovereign judge collides with the contradictory reality of a life that cannot be broken down into individual roles.
A Contemporary Production by Suzie Miller
Suzie Miller combines social observation with precise dialogues and clear character portrayal in her new play. After her internationally acclaimed play Prima Facie, she once again turns her gaze towards power, justice, and the question of how institutions shape private life. The Düsseldorf production is directed by Anna Stiepani; the translation is by Anne Rabe.
Acting in the Great House
With Meike Droste, Philipp Hauß, and Theo Thun, a cast stands on stage that makes the conflict between outer composure and inner pressure immediately palpable. The theater atmosphere emerges from the interplay of concentrated dialogue delivery, precise timing, and moments in which the person behind the professional mask becomes visible. Lighting, set design, and acoustics provide the production with the space for an intense stage experience.
An Evening About Roles, Expectations, and Closeness
Inter Alia takes us right into a present where professional success and personal care no longer exist separately. The play raises questions about motherhood, partnership, performance pressure, and societal recognition. The audience reaction is likely to be especially strong where the character Jessica Parks wavers between judgment and vulnerability.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect a modern, socially aware production with precise direction, strong acting moments, and a character whose contradictory life reality resonates long after. Anyone wanting to experience contemporary drama with emotional depth and dramaturgical clarity should discover this evening live at the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus.
