My Order

Written by Suzie Miller

Directed by Justin Martin

Jodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping 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. Please note, this includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape.

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.

Reviews:

★★★★ ‘West End debuts don’t come more astonishing than this solo tour de force by Jodie Comer’ (Telegraph)

★★★★ ‘An extraordinarily gutsy and rich performance by Jodie Comer’ (Evening Standard)

★★★★ ‘An unforgettable moment of theatre’ (WhatsOnStage)

★★★★ (Guardian, Telegraph, Times, Independent, The Stage)

The Royal Opera: Mozart’s THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

David McVicar returns to direct his glorious 2006 production of The Marriage of Figaro at The Royal Opera.

Ying Fang makes her long-anticipated Royal Opera debut as Susanna, alongside former Jette Parker Artist Jacquelyn Stucker as the Countess. Conductor Julia Jones leads a largely international cast, including Luca Micheletti as Figaro, Huw Montague Rendall as Count Almaviva, with Ginger Costa-Jackson also making her Royal Opera debut as Cherubino.

Mozart’s beloved score is instantly recognisable, from Figaro's ironic farewell to Cherubino in 'Non più andrai' (You shall go no more), to Cherubino’s lovelorn aria to the Countess, ‘Voi che sapete’ (You who know what love is). The Marriage of Figaro shines with humanity and wit, making it an enduring classic. Lighting by Paule Constable and set design by Tanya McCallin bring all the drama of one day in a chaotic household fully to life.

Cast: Luca Micheletti, Ying Fang, Huw Montague Rendall, Jacquelyn Stucker

Director: David McVicar

Conductor: Julia Jones
