Prima Facie with Jodie Comer to transfer to Broadway in 2023
West End play Prima Facie starring Jodie Comer is to move to New York in 2023.
The piece by Suzie Miller recently played its final shows in London at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
The production will transfer to Broadway in 2023, beginning performances on 11 April at the John Golden Theatre for a limited run.
Comer said: “It has been an absolute privilege to tell Tessa’s story here in London over the past few weeks, and to now have the opportunity to take Prima Facie to Broadway is a dream come true.”
Meanwhile a filmed production of the show is currently available to stream in the UK for a limited time.
The one-woman-play features the Free Guy and Killing Eve star as lawyer Tessa.
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.
Directed by Justin Martin, the production has set and costume design by Miriam Buether and lighting design by Natasha Chivers. Rebecca Lucy Taylor – the Brit Award nominated star of Self Esteem – will compose music with sound designers Max and Ben Ringham, video by Treatment Studio and voice coach Zabarjad Salam.
