Tessa is a thoroughbred. A young, brilliant barrister who loves to win. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and lighting up the shadows of doubt in any case. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Jodie Comer made her West End and Broadway Debut in the UK and USA premiere of Suzie Miller’s Olivier award-winning, gripping play PRIMA FACIE which takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Justin Martin directed this solo actor tour de force at the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre for a strictly limited season followed by a transfer to the John Golden Theatre on Broadway for another strictly limited run.

The production garnered 24 awards including Olivier, Tony, South Bank Show, Whatsonstage, Evening Standard and Drama Desk recognition.
