Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk Prima Facie is a play that comes out swinging, with an actor on stage that strives and strains with ever sinew to get the point across. This is no actor out for awards; but someone brandishing words like a weapon on a topic that is truly traumatic. Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Maya Mehrara Bust Magazine In an age where women’s rights are being negotiated, threatened, and in some cases revoked entirely, Jodie Comer’s astonishing performance in the recording of the play Prima Facie is incredibly relevant and timely. Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Harris Dang The AU Review From the striking set to the compellingly forceful musical score to the virulent yet compassionate writing to Jodie Comer’s towering work as the lead, Prima Facie is a triumph from all fronts. Rated: 5/5 Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Stephen A. Russell ScreenHub Comer delivers a performance for the ages. And through her Wright howls a rally cry for a better, more just form of ‘justice’ that is not built on the best interests of bad men. Rated: 5/5 Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Kimberley S A one woman theatre show that explores the story of a defence lawyer exploring the criminal justice system after a sexual assault. It is a must see, as a survivor myself who has been through the reporting process, it really hit home. The play emotionally hits you as you go through the characters journey. Jodie was exceptional in this. It is a must see for anyone! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Robyne G Amazing performance…. Jodie Comer is only 31 years old, aren’t we lucky that she’ll hopefully be delivering her remarkable skill for the next 40+ years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Audience Member such a sudden and sinking turn of events, heartbreaking, almost painful to watch at times, yet feels so real, you know it could've happened, you know it has happened, you know all those case files lit up in the end exit somewhere sometime. Something's gotta change. Marvellous performance and so well written. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review jd c A-must see! Jodie Comer shines from start to finish. Definitely deserved all the awards she got from this stage debut! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Bethan L Truly an incredible performance full of gut wrenching emotion. Must see for everyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Al F Jodie's performance of a lifetime. One incredibly talented, beautiful woman.
