Why go and see it?
Showing at the Harold Pinter Theatre for nine weeks only, Prima Facie has already received rave reviews and awards following its Australian premiere.
Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie tells the story of Tessa, a young and brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; prosecuting; 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.
Every winner might be the one who loses the next day.–
Tessa is played by Jodie Comer, in her West End debut after huge on-screen performances such as Free Guy, The Last Duel and Killing Eve. A solo actor tour de force directed by Justin Martin at the Harold Pinter Theatre, Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide within the rules of the game.
