Empire Street Productions is excited to announce that the Olivier Award Winning Prima Facie, the most watched National Theatre Live title to date, will embark on a national tour in 2026. Olivier, Tony, Whatsonstage, Evening Standard award winner Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) ‘extraordinarily gutsy and rich’ (★★★★ Evening Standard) performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-women play has been watched by over 1.2 million people worldwide, and now more audiences will have the opportunity to watch the award-winning production in person at venues across the UK.
Audiences can watch Comer’s ‘masterful West End debut’ (★★★★Guardian), first performed at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End before transferring to the Golden Theatre in New York. Directed by Justin Martin (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), Comer plays Tessa, a young, brilliant barrister who 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 in this “unforgettable moment of theatre” (★★★★WhatsOnStage).
