Screened in the Macphail Theatre in Ullapool, National Theatre Live present the Empire Street Production of Prima Facie, written by Suzie Miller and directed by Justin Martin.

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play is National Theatre Live’s most watched screening. First shown in 2022 it now returns to the big screen across the UK.

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.

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.

BBFC Certificate: 15
