Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning actress Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) will make her Broadway debut in Prima Facie, a new play by Suzie Miller, directed by Justin Martin.

The production, which is in the final two weeks of a sold out run in the West End, will come to Broadway for a limited engagement in Spring 2023 at a Shubert theatre to be announced.

Jodie Comer said: “It has been an absolute privilege to tell Tessa’s story here in London over the past few weeks and to now have the opportunity to take Prima Facie to Broadway is a dream come true.” 

Prima Facie features an original score by Rebecca Lucy Taylor, who is better known as Self Esteem, with set and costume design by Miriam Buether, lighting by Natasha Chivers, sound design by Ben & Max Ringham, and video by William Williams for Treatment Studio.

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. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge. 

Venue, opening night and on sale dates will be announced in coming weeks.
