Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Oliver 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.

Please note, this production includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape. There is more information about this on the Prima Facie website with links to further information and support: https://primafacieplay.com/trigger-warning/

Set in France during the Napoleonic Wars, this lush period drama produced by Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice)  tells the true story of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, the “Grande Dame of Champagne.”

At just 27 after her spouse’s untimely death, Barbe-Nicole, now named Veuve (the French word for widow) is determined to protect her family’s legacy. She sets out to boldly challenge the men - as well as the state - set on stripping her of her vineyards. Defying her critics by ultimately revolutionising the champagne industry, Madame Clicquot established herself as one of the world’s first great businesswomen.

“Portrayed with remarkable depth and nuance, emerges not merely as a grieving widow, but as a woman of relentless resolve and extraordinary vision.”
