Jodie Comer makes an explosive solo West End debut in Prima Facie, written by Suzie Miller, a former criminal defense lawyer. The BAFTA winner plays Tessa Ensler, a captivating, confident barrister who specializes in sexual assault cases. Tessa’s swaggering persona is shattered when a colleague rapes her on a date, forcing her to travel through the legal system as a victim. She endures physical harm, emotional trauma, and torturous questioning, meanwhile losing faith in a system that is not designed to protect her or bring justice to victims—a reality for the estimated one in three women who will experience sexual assault in their lifetime. —Veena McCoole
