Prima Facie - Back in cinemas from 12 September | Official Trailer | National Theatre Live

Jodie Comer makes her West End debut in this award-winning new 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.

I've seen this live from the front row. My god! What an experience. I have not stopped thinking about it since - it's THAT powerful. Jodie is PHENOMENAL! Everything she does seems so natural and easy for her. She is a staggering talent and it was a privilege to be present in front of acting greatness. Long may her star continue to rise - at just 29 with two BAFTA's (from FIVE nominations) and an Emmy behind her already - her career is going to be HUGE! And it couldn't happen to a nicer person. Well done, Jodie!

When its all said and done in next 20 or 30 years, Jodie Comer will cement her legacy as the best actress to ever walk the planet earth. GOAT in the making.

You can just feel the energy radiating from the screen. This is unreal.

I was lucky enough to see Jodie live from the front row. She is the most versatile actress I’ve ever seen in my life! It’s been three weeks and I’m still processing this play. She effortlessly brings you into HER world. Makes you feel everything Tessa is feeling. The way she connects with the audience is like nothing I’ve ever seen before and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her from the moment she stepped into her role until she left the stage. No one does it like Jodie Comer and I can’t think of anyone else who could come close to comparing to her. ❤️

Eight years I worked in a theatre as front of house manager and I’m telling you now this is one of the best shows you could ever see!

[KevinMuller]

Comer should've been nominated for "The Last Duel." Incredible performance. She is one of the newer actresses that I look forward to seeing how high she can go.

Saw this at the cinema last night. it’s been on my mind ever since. What a performance from Jodie Comer. She must have been totally exhausted after each show. It was powerful beyond words. Tears rolling down my face at the end. People applauding in the cinema. If Jodie doesn’t get an award for this, it will be an utter crime. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[eddiegrimm]

What you are seeing here with Jodie Comer is a woman who is on the brink of becoming one of the biggest and greatest actors of all time

Man what I would give to see her live.

[themainmartian]

Forever thankful that I got to see this piece in person twice. Once with Jodie and the second time with her understudy Dani. And then to meet both after their shows was just a privelege. Both the writing and raw talent this show held was nothing short of just phenomenal. I hope everyone goes to see it in cinema.

Living in Syria and thinking how in earth I'm gonna be able to watch her live on stage someday??! she gives me strength and motivate me to keep going. 💪
Phenomenal, extraordinary, and talented actress 👏 ❤

I wish I could have seen this live but Jodie Comer's energy was still palpable through the cinema screen. I can't imagine how she feels doing this performance over and over. I, as an audience member left the cinema reeling and exhausted; I can't even begin to imagine how she must feel. If anyone doubts Comer's acting skills, they should watch this because she delivers and then some. She's probably one of the best actresses of her generation and it's such a privilege and a joy to watch her thrive.

Got goosebumps while watching the trailer.
Not only Jodie’s performance is phenomenal and truly off the scale but this play is so needed and a very important message at how the legal system treats victims of sexual assaults.

[joanneconway]

Just seen this awesome performance in a live screen showing. Totally blown away. Can’t stop thinking about it. Jodie is incredible, I can’t believe she talked for two hours and no-one fidgeted, coughed, spoke! The whole cinema was mesmerise. I have never experienced anything like it. Wonderfully powerful experience, thank you Jodie xx👍❤️

[EmHope]

So so grateful to have seen this two days ago. Jodie had the whole audience in tears. I will never ever forget this experience

[milanever]

The more times I watch this trailer, the sadder I am that I can’t witness this in person in Harold Pinter Theatre. British people are so lucky.

[KristinQuayat]

I just watched a special screening of the play here in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I'm still mind blown by what I've seen. Jodie absolutely knocked it out of the park, WHAT A PERFORMANCE AND WHAT A MOMENT TO BE ALIVE!!!! Her acting in Prima Facie is everything they said and more, completely breathtaking and inspiring!!! The hat comes off!!! People, be thankful you are alive to see the next GOAT after all the Big Ones who came before her!!

[leotaylor-smith]

Jodie is making us scousers incredibly proud! She is representing Liverpool with true honour. I’m made up every time I watch her. Jodie is absolutely boss, a legend right here.

[teresamartin]
