Prima Facie (2022x19)

:

Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She 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. Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Jodie Comer makes her West End debut in the UK premiere of Suzie Miller’s award-winning play, directed by Justin Martin. Filmed live at the Harold Pinter Theatre in 2022.
