National Theatre Live present the Empire Street Production of:
Prima Facie
written by Suzie Miller
directed by Justin Martin
Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’sgripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.
Tessa 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. Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.
Includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape. There is more information about this on the Prima Facie website with links to further information and support: https://primafacieplay.com/trigger-warning/
The incredible Crash Bang Wallop singers return this year accompanied by the Forum Stage Band under the direction of Alan Owens with a Swing Themed Concert featuring the music made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin and many more, bringing to life an era of entertainment that was unmistakable in both style and energy.

THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO
Live streamed event
Count Almaviva lives with his Countess on their estate near Seville. The Count has his eye on his wife’s maid Susanna, who is about to marry the Count’s servant, Figaro. Much to Figaro’s dismay, the Count plans to seduce Susanna on the night of the wedding. Meanwhile, Cherubino, the Count’s young page, has a crush on the Countess, but has just been dismissed after being discovered with Barbarina, the gardener Antonio’s daughter.
Figaro decides he must foil the Count’s attempt to seduce his wife-to-be and enlists the help of the Countess, Susanna and Cherubino – the latter disguising himself as a woman. A series of mistaken identities, misunderstandings and thwarted plans ensue, with all members of the household participating as each tries to get what – and who – they want.
