Find out what the critics had to say about Inter Alia!

After becoming a smash hit at the National Theatre, Inter Alia, a bold new play by award-winning playwright Suzie Miller (Prima Facie), starring Oscar and BAFTA nominee Rosamund Pike, has arrived on the West End! Inter Alia looks at the precarious balancing act of motherhood, professional ambition, and masculinity in the modern world. 

With Miller's signature sharp dialogue and a heavy-hitting performance at its core, this production arrives with massive expectations. But does this legal drama hold up under cross-examination? Find out what the critics thought below...

"Rosamund Pike gives a hectic, vital, riveting performance at the centre of Suzie Miller's gut-punch of a play...It is a shape-shifting performance that confirms Pike as one of the most formidable stage presences of her generation." - The Evening Standard

 "It is a shape-shifting performance that confirms Pike as one of the most formidable stage presences of her generation."

"Pike is supreme in a well-judged performance that captures both the icy brilliance of the courtroom and the messy, visceral reality of a mother in crisis. She is supremely witty and sharp, but also devastatingly exposed and tender. Justin Martin's direction, full of verve and energy, preserves a sense of rising panic as deep, dark truths are revealed." - What'sOnStage

"This show's not-so-secret weapon is Pike, who brings an intensity to this character that's operatic in pitch. She communicates courage, comedy and a tsunami of middle-class angst with every flicker of expression. While the script occasionally leans into the didactic, Pike breathes such a fire into the words that you find yourself leaning in, breathless, until the final gavel falls." - Time Out

"It is a shattering evening that will leave you debating your own ethics long after you leave the theatre."

"Miller's script is a pacy, urgent interrogation of justice versus instinct. There are moments where the legal lecture style feels a bit slender, but the impact builds and builds until it's almost unbearable. It turns an intimate, domestic story into a swaggering epic of moral high stakes. It is a shattering evening that will leave you debating your own ethics long after you leave the theatre." - The Independent.
