"Prima Facie" • National Theatre Live, October 15 at Arena Theater
Arena Theater presents "Prima Facie", a production of National Theatre Live from London. The play will screen Saturday, October 15 at 1:00pm, doors open at 12:30pm. Tickets are $20, $5 for youth, 18 and under. The award-winning play by Suzie Miller, is directed by Justin Martin and has a runtime of 120 minutes with no intermission. The production stars Jodie Comer.
In this play, Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister, who 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. This solo tour de force is captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.
