Hammer Theatre Center takes audiences to the heart of the #MeToo movement during its National Theatre Live (NT Live) screening of Prima Facie, Suzie Miller’s award-winning play about a criminal justice system stacked against sexual assault victims, directed by Justin Martin. Captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London, this powerful solo performance piece features Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) as 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 Tessa to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof, and morals diverge.Critics applauded Comer’s thrilling West End debut, calling it “an extraordinarily gutsy and rich performance” (Evening Standard) that could be pulled off “only [by] someone as versatile as Comer” (Curzon). Says The Telegraph, “West End debuts don’t come much more astonishing than this solo tour de force by Judie Comer.”
