Prima Facie | Teaser Trailer | National Theatre Live

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play.
--
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 from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End. A production from Empire Street Productions.

This almost left me breathless. Jodie Comer delivered a truly masterful performance and, I think, should go down in history as one of the most talented actresses of our time. Great credit, too, must go to Suzie Miller for such superb writing. Powerful, moving, thought-provoking, unforgettable.

Going to see it this week. Love how easy and affordable it is. I did theatre as a teen and my parents did too. I grew up with stories and a keen sense how narratives can touch us at our cores and unite society. One of the main reasons i always loved the UK was the stage. The staggering amount of talent coming from this nation.

My partner saw it and came back shaking by how much Ms Comer threw her heart into the role. Recommended

I honestly can't wait to see it. Weirdly I missed it the first time around and I've been kicking myself at missing this opportunity.

Will Prima Facie be available in the US? So far, only one theater, in Chicago, shows up in a search. --Or on NT @home? (I'm a subscriber.)
