Susie Miller's stunning one-actor play Prima Facie is getting repeat screenings at Cineworlds (maybe at other cinemas too?) on Thursday. Strongly recommended

Amazing that. Hard going but gripping stuff. Barmy how Jodie Comer does it all alone.

In reply to alan moore:

What's even more amazing is that she is essentially telling a story, and not actually playing multiple roles, or doing different voices etc, but you come out of it PICTURING different characters. I distinctly 'remember' "seeing" and hearing the taxi driver, for example.

Correction, she DOES do different voices and accents but still in character as Tess addressing the audience directly as the narrator of her own story. Just back from my third viewing and I must emphasise that it’s a quite extraordinary piece of theatre. Also, the run apparently extends to 16 Sept; I had thought it was one night only, but clearly it depends on your cinema. I urge anyone to try to see this. I might even try to find a fourth viewing!
