Tessa is a thoroughbred. A young, brilliant barrister who loves to win. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and lighting up the shadows of doubt in any case. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
Jodie Comer’s Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s
gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.
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.
