NT Live: Prima Facie (15)

National Theatre Live present the Empire Street Production of

Prima Facie 

written by Suzie Miller & directed by Justin Martin 

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas. 

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. 

★★★★ ‘masterful West End debut’ Guardian

★★★★ ‘Jodie Comer takes the stage by storm’ The Times
 
★★★★ ‘an extraordinarily gutsy and rich performance by Jodie Comer’ Evening Standard

★★★★ ‘West End debuts don’t come much more astonishing than this’ Daily Telegraph

This show includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape.
