How do you follow Prima Facie? With a play about boys, porn and parents

Times19-07-2025
H ow do you follow a play like Prima Facie? Suzie Miller's blistering monologue (she prefers the word 'monodrama') about a promising young barrister who brings a rape case against a colleague was arguably the most electrifying theatrical event of the past five years. Its star, Jodie Comer, won an Olivier for a performance that went from funny to destroyed to defiant and back again, prompting a national conversation about the justice system. Not just national: the play went to Broadway and has now been performed in 36 countries and 30 languages. In September the Wicked star Cynthia Erivo will start filming a screen version.
Given all this, is Miller suffering second-act nerves? 'Yeah,' she says, sounding not in the least nervous. (Now 61, the former lawyer has written dozens of plays, including two recently staged in Sydney.) Instead this warm, voluble Australian can't wait to rattle cages again. 'After Prima, the next question was — well, it's not women's problem that this is happening. There is a problem with how we define masculinity.'

Married At First Sight 2026's sauciest bride risks major wardrobe malfunction as she marries Aussie reality star in beach ceremony

Married At First Sight has started filming across Sydney - and it seems we've found the sauciest bride of the 2026 season. Gia Fleur was exclusively pictured by Daily Mail Australia on Monday wearing a very racy wedding ensemble as she married Aussie reality star Scott McCristal in a romantic beach ceremony. The bride put on a busty display in a mermaid tail dress, which tightly hugged her figure as she wed the Million Dollar Island alum on Maroubra Beach. The frock boasted long sleeves, an accentuated waist and a high slit up the leg, which saw Gia risk a major wardrobe malfunction as she walked down the aisle. However, it was the frilly, bow-emblazoned garter wrapped around her left leg that raised eyebrows. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Gia finished off the look by sweeping up her golden locks into a bun and wore a jewel-encrusted tiara. Gia's groom was smitten as she came down the aisle. The couple were all smiles as they wed in front of a picturesque beach scene. Scott could be seen leaning back in fits of laughter after one point as they held hands at the altar. The new couple exchanged rings and then a kiss as they said 'I do' for MAFS fans across the globe. Later on, Scott and Gia enjoyed a loved-up photo shoot on the beach, where they could be seen striking a variety of poses. One picture saw the couple in a passionate embrace, with Gia's garter-laden leg lifted up by her husband. Later, Scott carried his new bride across the beach. While the newest season of MAFS has kicked off with a bang, according to reports, it nearly didn't happen. Daily Mail Australia previously revealed the 2026 season almost didn't make it to air after last-minute cast dropouts forced producers to scramble behind the scenes. 'They had multiple people pull out and had to move quickly to fill those spots,' one well-placed source revealed. But the end result? A bold, diverse cast of professionals, creatives, and big personalities - with producers tipping this to be one of the 'most explosive seasons yet.' 'Some couples are hitting it off immediately, others are absolute mismatches - the drama is already building,' one insider said.

EXCLUSIVE Hollywood heartthrob goes incognito as he reveals shock new look at Maroubra Beach in Sydney

A major US actor looked completely unrecognisable as he filmed scenes for his new movie in Sydney over the weekend. Noah Centineo looked very different as he donned long blonde hair while filming the new Street Fighter film at Maroubra Beach. The Gen Z heartthrob, 28, is set to play the role of Ken Masters alongside other major stars including rapper 50 Cent. He was dressed in a white singlet and denim pants as he got into character. Noah had bright yellow sunglasses on his locks as he chatted with the crew before filming scenes for the upcoming movie. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Noah recently sparked romance rumours with Zoe Kravitz, 36, after they left a party together in West Hollywood back in March. The Big Little Lies star and actor, best known for his starring role in To All the Boys I've Loved Before, were seen exiting the same small bar/club around 2:20 a.m. According to eyewitnesses, the rumoured couple did leave in the same car. The pair's sighting came on the same day her ex-fiancé Channing Tatum, 44, went public with his new romance with Australian model Inka Williams at a pre-Oscars party in Los Angeles, hosted by Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Kravitz and Centineo refrained from engaging in any PDA and it is unknown if their relationship is romantic or platonic. The month prior the two were also seen hanging out in New York City. Kravitz and Tatum were romantically involved for three years and engaged for one, before they called off the wedding at the end of October. The split was a particular shock for the couple, as they had not only gotten engaged, but Channing had been spotted with fresh ink of Zoë's initials on the back of his hand in September. Noah shot to fame portraying Peter Kavinsky in the To All the Boys I've Loved Before film series, establishing himself as a teen heartthrob. He has also starred in the The Recruit, playing a CIA lawyer entangled in a dangerous world. Noah's most recent roles include Black Adam and Warfare. The actor has also appeared in Charlie Angles, The Fosters and Sierra Burgess Is A Loser.
