Written by Australian playwright Suzie Miller, Prima Facie first premiered in Sydney in 2019 before transferring to the West End in 2022, where Jodie Comer made her stage debut. Her performance earned widespread acclaim, including an Olivier Award for Best Actress, for its balance of legal precision and emotional power. The play examines how the justice system treats survivors of sexual assault, asking difficult questions about truth, burden andbelief.

The production is presented as a solo monologue, relying on Comer’s voice and physical detail to shift between characters and moments. It later played on Broadway, winning Comer a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Play.
