Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas for a limited time.
Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game, defending, cross-examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.
★★★★ “West End debuts don’t come more astonishing than this solo tour de force by Jodie Comer” – (London) Telegraph
“A compelling, rocket-propelled play. Jodie Comer doesn’t just take the stage. She consumes it” – Washington Post
This production runs approximately one hour, 40 minutes with no intermission. Includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape
Part of Arts in the Afternoon, which is sponsored by Dr. James & Marcia Merrins
