National Theatre Live: Prima Facie

You will be impressed. I thought that I would get bored, but the play was well paced, planed and executed. I would love to watch it again, but this time on Broadway.

I had heard it was incredible by people who had seen it live so my expectations were high. Nothing prepared me for what I saw though. Quite simply it was the best performance I have ever seen. Comer is beyond brilliant in this and fills every single second of the play with joy, pain, doubt, guilt, horror. My first reaction after leaving the theatre is - how could she put that much energy into the performance night after night on stage? The effort she put in exhausted us just watching. You will never see a better performance, ever- unless she does something else that tops even this.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

How did this woman remember all the lines?? How did she perform this for two months?? How did she flawlessly switch between characters?

I was completely entranced by this.

Jodie Comer is absolutely fantastic in this role. Truly one of the best acting performances I have ever seen.

The plot is powerful and will resonate deeply with a lot of women. I would gobao far as to say this should be required viewing for everyone.

Jodie Comer's talent is preternatural. I don't think the industry is even ready for it 😳. Olivier Award must be pending at this point with Tony Award on the cards and Jodie Comer deserves it all. The play was just as brilliant on the silver screen, the editing and direction for camera on point and I was probably even more stunned this time round. Emotive, visceral, poignant, chastening, fearless, faultless, mesmerising, vivid, vigorous, breathtaking because well Jodie Comer. All stars have aligned with this play; production, set design, music composition, and are revolving around Jodie. The impact it's having, and in particular on the 1 in 3, is profound. It's probably the single most important piece of art produced in theatre for some time. Broadway has no excuse to not to be enamoured with it when it heads there.
