Synopsis of the film · · · · · ·
Judy Comer, who won an Emmy Award for the hit series "Killing Eve," made her West End debut in "Prima Facie" in 2022, which has become a box office hit and received critical acclaim. The NT Live version became the best-selling theatrical film after the pandemic!
Written by playwright Suzie Miller, the story focuses on current gender and power issues. It follows Tessa, a lawyer from a working-class background, who becomes a top performer in the industry through her own efforts. However, a sexual assault case forces her to confront legal provisions under patriarchy, the burden of proof, and moral disagreements, which have a profound impact on her life.
Directed by Justin Martin, this 90-minute intense emotional performance is a test of acting skills, with Judy Comer's performance receiving media praise. In addition, meaningful social discussion activities on this topic were held during the performance period, hosted by lawyers. The play has ended its run in the West End and is set to move to Broadway in spring 2023.
