It broke all records to become the most-watched NT Live of all time. It is with much excitement we announce the long-asked-for, Tony Award-winning production, written by our own Suzie Miller...
National Theatre Live present the Empire Street Production of
PRIMA FACIE
Written by Suzie Miller Directed by Justin Martin
Starring Jodie Comer
Only in cinemas from September 21 - Tickets on sale and online
This play was so popular at the West End that the playwright Suzie Miller could not get tickets to her own show towards the end of the run. Grab yours before the same happens here!
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.

“It’s a breathtaking performance. . . Miller’s script is uncannily skilled… brilliantly directed… everyone who sees it will find it unforgettable… This is a different kind of offering from National Theatre Live – a famous TV star with a visceral grasp of the spectacular nature of the emotional atrocity she’s delineating. Everyone will be taken aback by its rawness and its power.” The Australian.
★★★★ ‘West End debuts don’t come more astonishing than this solo tour de force by Jodie Comer’ Telegraph
★★★★ ‘An extraordinarily gutsy and rich performance by Jodie Comer’ Evening Standard
★★★★ ‘An unforgettable moment of theatre’ WhatsOnStage
