National Theatre Live presents Prima Facie

Jodie Comer’s Olivier and Tony award-winning, electrifying, performance in Suzie Miller’s
gripping one-women play. Certificate 15.

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

The most-watched NT Live production of all time returns to the big screen. Filmed live from the Harold Pinter Theatre in 2022.

Please Note: this show includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape and may cause distress or trigger challenging emotions.
