Prima Facie recently opened on Broadway at Golden Theatre on Sunday, April 23, 2023, and the play starring Jodie Comer has just announced an extension.
Originally scheduled to run through Sunday, June 18, 2023, Prima Facie has extended its limited engagement by two weeks and will now run through Sunday, July 2, 2023.
“I am so humbled by the response to this show opening on Broadway. The community here has been so welcoming to us all on Prima Facie so I am absolutely thrilled that we have been able to extend the run by two weeks to hopefully meet even more of the wonderful audiences that are here,” commented star Jodie Comer. “This show is such a privilege to be part of. Everyone’s work – from Suzie’s writing, to Justin’s direction, to Natasha’s lighting, to Miriam’s set, to Max and Ben’s sound, to Rebecca’s music and Willie’s video – has created a wonderful home for this story to be shared from.”
Comer makes her Broadway debut in the solo play by Suzie Miller under the direction of Justin Martin (The Jungle).
In Prima Facie, 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, until an unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof, and morals diverge.
