Smash the patriarchy: Jodie Comer plays Tessa, a young barrister on a winning path in National Theatre Live’s Prima Facie, an award-winning one-woman play from Suzie Miller. Tessa is at the top of her game—defending, cross-examining, and illuminating all shadows of doubt—until she is sexually assaulted by a colleague, and finds herself grappling with the patriarchal power of the law she once fought to uphold. Comer’s critically acclaimed performance is emotional, physical, and relatable, and earned her a future run on Broadway.
Thursday 8/11. $11-15, 7pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net
