PRIMA FACIE
National Theatre Live

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.

Perfformiad Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), sydd wedi ennill gwobrau Olivier a Tony, yn nrama un fenyw afaelgar Suzie Miller, yn dychwelyd i sinemâu.

Mae Tessa yn fargyfreithiwr ifanc, disglair. Mae hi wedi gweithio ei ffordd i fyny o wreiddiau dosbarth gweithiol i fod ar frig ei gêm; amddiffyn; croesholi ac ennill. Mae digwyddiad annisgwyl yn ei gorfodi i wynebu’r pwynt lle mae pŵer patriarchaidd y gyfraith, pwysau’r dystiolaeth a moesau yn ymwahanu. Mae Prima Facie yn mynd â ni i galon lle mae emosiwn a phrofiad yn gwrthdaro â rheolau’r gêm.
