a new play by Suzie Miller

Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica in the much-anticipated next play from the team behind Prima Facie.

Jessica Parks is a smart Crown Court Judge at the top of her career. Behind the robe, she is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, can she hold her family upright?

Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon Prima Facie, with this searing examination of modern motherhood and masculinity.

When acclaimed orchestra conductor Thibaut (Lavernhe) is diagnosed with leukemia, a DNA test to find a bone marrow donor reveals that he is adopted. Thibaut meets his biological brother Jimmy (Lottin), a cook in a school canteen who plays trombone of a local marching band in Lille. When the band loses its conductor, Thibaut steps in as replacement, and the brothers learn more about the circumstances that shaped each other's lives.

The Marching Band is a 2024 French drama film directed by Emmanuel Courcol from a screenplay by Courcol, Irène Muscari, Oriane Bonduel and Marianne Tomersy.

The film stars Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin as long-lost brothers.
