National Theatre and Empire Street Productions announce Prima Facie, the most watched National Theatre Live title to date, is returning to cinemas during the month of September. Jodie Comer’s “extraordinarily gutsy and rich” (Evening Standard) performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play has captivated nearly half a million viewers worldwide. Starting in September, even more audiences will have the chance to experience this 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).
