Saturday, October 12, 2:00 p.m. & Sunday, October 13, 2:00 p.m. | Tessa (Jodie Comer, in an Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance) is 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. A solo tour de force, PRIMA FACIE takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. (NTL)
