Legal drama to be broadcast live to cinemas from London’s West End

Directed by Justin Martin and captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre, the solo piece sees Ms Comer make her West End debut as Tessa, a young and brilliant barrister specialising in defending people accused of sexual offences.

The drama — which is accompanied by a trigger warning — looks at what happens after an “unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge”.

Speaking about the broadcast by National Theatre Live, Ms Comer said: “I am delighted that our production of Prima Facie will be available to watch in cinemas across the world. Alongside our ticketing initiatives this is another way that we can make sure that this play is accessible to anyone that would like to see it.”

More information about screenings and tickets is available from the NT Live website.
