National Theatre Live - Prima Facie

Wednesday, 9th October 2024 - 19.30

Crail Community Hall


National Theatre Live present

 

the Empire Street Production of Prima Facie written by Suzie Miller directed by Justin Martin

 

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.

 

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.

 

Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.
