National Theatre Live presents PRIMA FACIE at the Cinema Art Theater
Mon Jul 25 2 pm Tue Jul 26 6 pm
Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) makes her West End debut in the UK premiere of Suzie Miller’s award-winning play.
Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to 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. Critics praise Comer for her breakneck performance in an emotionally demanding role that, under Justin Martin’s busy staging, is quite physical. Matt Wolf of The New York Times wrote “There’s no denying the visceral power of an evening that owes its sellout status to a theatrical neophyte who possesses the know-how of a seasoned pro.”
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End. [2022, UK, 120 min]
