REVIEWS
"The sensational Jodie Comer is a must-see. I was in awe. Pure exhilaration washes over us — because we have just witnessed the emergence of an extraordinary new stage talent. Comer goes into the upper echelons of greatness. This won’t be her last standing ovation on Broadway."
"JODIE COMER IS F–CKING REMARKABLE, ASTOUNDING, A PERFORMANCE APPROACHING MIRACULOUS. The emotional and physical toll of a performance like this is, and the truths it brings to light, is akin to a public service. A night of theater that not only speaks to the culture but shifts it as well."
"ONE OF THE MOST ELECTRIFYING PIECES OF THEATER ON BROADWAY THIS SEASON. JODIE COMER gives an astonishingly acted, shattering, raw, and unflinching performance. The play’s texture and pace is aided by MIRIAM BEUTHER’S set, artful lighting design by NATASHA CHIVERS, and sound design by BEN and MAX RINGHAM."
"Jodie Comer doesn’t just take the stage. She consumes it. Director Justin Martin injects supersonic dramatic fuel into the play into Suzie Miller’s rocket-propelled play. It’s the kind of evening from which you don’t instantly rebound. You slowly recover."
"Jodie Comer claims Broadway as her own in her tour de force performance. PRIMA FACIE is a scalding indictment of the law and its limits directed with energy and empathy by Justin Martin."
