Prima Facie officially begins previews tonight, April 11, ahead of opening on Sunday, April 23, 2023 at the Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street).

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. The play is directed by Justin Martin (The Jungle) and produced by Empire Street Productions.

Prima Facie will play a strictly limited engagement for 10 weeks only.

Tessa (Comer) 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; defending; cross examining and winning, until an unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Read Jodie Comer's bio below!
