Review: 'Prima Facie' (National Theatre Live)

Content Warning: strong themes of sexual assault and violence

Prior to watching Prima Facie, I had not looked at more than a general synopsis and the cinema booking description, so whilst I was vaguely aware of the themes, I was completely unprepared for the next two hours.

Prima Facie immediately captures your attention as Comer brings the cocky barrister Tessa to life. She revels in her most recent victory - as demonstrated through a gleeful and vigorous dance around and on top of the tables...

Andretti's Catie Munnings and Timmy Hansen: "there’s really no limit to where we could go."

It’s still racing that we love but doing it for more than yourself in a bigger picture so I really like seeing that message we do here. And now Extreme E has turned into a fantastic sport in itself, the racing and tracks are incredible and you can’t see it now but it feels like we're on Mars in the paddock here.C Like Timmy said, it’s the challenge of doing something completely new, but also the fact that it’s electric.
