This is a huge success for her - just one review but there's a ton of these type. Killing Eve star Jodie Comer absolutely storms the West End in this one-woman show, playing a barrister specialising in sexual assault cases who is herself then raped. Her working-class character Tessa Ensler starts off as an exuberant ball of energy, swaggering and shimmying around a set lined with legal files, glorying in her ability to navigate the hierarchy and the technical nuances of law. www.standard.co.uk/culture/theatre/prima-facie-review-jodie-comer-harold-pinter-theatre-b996782.html

Trailer for anyone interested. Quite a triumph for the 29y/o Comer. The word isn't just positive but lots of people describing the overwhelming awe of her perf, stuff like this:
@juliamc1 Just had the HONOUR of watching Jodie Comer in Prima Facie. I’ve seen some of the greats on stage over the years - Patrick Stewart, Emma Thompson, David Tennant, etc - and let me tell you NONE of them had the audience in the palm of their hand quite like that.

This is an amazing performance and I didn't really care that much for The Last Duel - I preferred House of Gucci - yeah, I said it ........but this performance is a force of nature - and the play has preachy / clunky parts - that she makes seem ok because of how she plays it. This is not just tremendous work - it is masterful in where it is set by her - the actor level - and how it is pitched so you follow it without getting worn out - A LOT of thought went into the energy she brings way up ..........and way down ......... if you live in the US you can see this on Broadway next year - and of course you can see this National Theatre Live Production if a local theater has it. Essential viewing

The Playbill for this tour de force - so good that it rivals Tar for the best actng in 2022 (2023 US) - and far beyond just 2022 / 2023 too - and so good pacinoyes is excusing the unnecessary use of the word "patriarchial" in the synopsis yanno?  My tix are for end of month in April (I saw the National Theatre film of it also) - anybody else going? Prima Facie Playbill - Opening Night Prima Facie
BROADWAYORIGINAL JOHN GOLDEN THEATRE 252 W. 45TH ST., NEW YORK, NY Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve,” Free Guy) will make her highly anticipated Broadway debut in the US premiere of Prima Facie, a new play by Suzie Miller, for a strictly limited 10-week engagement.
SYNOPSIS: Tessa is a thoroughbred. A young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; prosecuting; 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.
