Captured live from the West End, Prima Facie will be available to watch worldwide from 12 September 2024

National Theatre and Empire Street Productions announce Prima Facie, the most watched National Theatre Live title to date, is returning to cinemas from 12 September 2024. Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) ‘extraordinarily gutsy and rich’ (★★★★ Evening Standard) performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-women play has been watched by nearly half a million people worldwide, and from September more audiences will have the opportunity to watch the award-winning production.

Audiences can watch Comer’s ‘masterful West End debut’ (★★★★ Guardian), captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End. 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).

“If you’ve watched her in “Killing Eve,” you may think you’ve experienced the full extent of Jodie Comer’s talent. But you haven’t, and certainly not before you’ve seen her in Suzie Miller’s virtuosic Prima Facie. Comer’s embodiment of Tessa is the essence of bravura.”
