Emmy and Golden Globe winner Rosamund Pike (I Care a Lot, State of the Union) will repeat her Olivier-nominated performance in Suzie Miller's play Inter Alia on Broadway this fall. The one-character play will begin previews at the Music Box Theater on Nov. 10 prior to a Dec. 1 opening. This will be her Broadway debut. Like Miller's previous play Prima Facie, Inter Alia is a solo show abut the British legal system. Pike plays Jessica Parker, a London Crown Court judge determined to reform a system that isn't always just.

Playwright Suzie Miller said in a statement, "I am so excited to be returning to Broadway alongside my Prima Facie director, the brilliant Justin Martin, with my new play Inter Alia. This National Theatre production is currently playing on London's West End, featuring Rosamund Pike who is nothing short of magnificent in the lead role. Inter Alia was commissioned, supported and produced at the National Theatre, who alongside our extraordinary producing partners are bringing the show across the pond. We are all thrilled to have this opportunity to engage in a contemporary conversation with NYC audiences."

Ms. Pike added, "What surprises me night after night performing this play is how audience members tell me they recognise themselves on stage. Men find themselves moved and confronted, women declare themselves seen, and parents and children tell me the story has led them to vital conversations. People recount how they laugh and cry with us, and that's all I can hope for. Suzie Miller has an indelible way of putting women's experiences on stage in a way that touches, excites, moves, and blindsides. Justin Martin's direction fuels my imagination constantly. I am thrilled and humbled to make my Broadway Debut with this role, in a theatre that is beyond my wildest dreams"
