Court is returning to session. Jodie Comer's Tony and Olivier winning performance in the harrowing solo play Prima Facie will return movie theatres across the globe September 12. The latest in the National Theatre Live cinema lineup, the production was filmed in the West End prior to the production's Broadway transfer.
Prima Facie follows Tessa Ensler, a barrister who specializes in defending men accused of sexual assault. But when she finds herself on the witness stand, her whole world is upended.
Said Comer: “I’m thrilled that the NTLive recording of our London run of Prima Facie will be screening worldwide in cinemas again. It’s a wonderful opportunity to keep spreading this important message and for those who couldn’t make it in person, here is your invitation, come join us!”

Comer starred as Tessa in the solo show, both on Broadway and in the West End. Her performance earned her the 2022 Olivier Award for Best Actress, and the 2023 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Play.
The production of Prima Facie continues to partner with The Schools Consent Project. Set up in 2014 by barrister Kate Parker, The Schools Consent Project is a charity which sends lawyers into schools to teach 11-18 year olds the legal definition of consent and key sexual offences.
