From ‘Killing Eve’ to conquering Broadway, Jodie Comer captivates in ‘Prima Facie’
Killing Eve, there’s more than a touch about the psychopathic assassin in Prima Facie, written by Suzie Miller, now playing at the Golden Theatre.Comer plays Tessa Ensler, a slick criminal defense barrister (or attorney) in Britain who has built a career defending men accused of sexual assault—and helping them walk free. But her cocky attitude about the legal system’s propensity for protecting the guilty and putting the victim on trial ends up backfiring when she is raped by a colleague who is equally familiar with the murky byways of their profession.Prima Facie has been touted as a hot ticket, with rave reviews in Sydney and London before its Broadway run.
