National Theatre Live in Mahala: Prima Facie | 7.03

National Theatre Live is back in Mahala Bookstore for 2025 and we kick-off strong in March with five screenings of Jodie Comer’s (you do know her from Killing Eve) "extraordinarily gutsy and rich" performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-women play Prima Facie. It's been watched by nearly half a million people worldwide, it has tons of awards and we are very happy to be able to bring it to Sofia for few evenings at the bookstore. 

And here's a special bonus: The Prima Facie play is pretty much new, played for the very first time in 2019, but it's been in Bulgaria for a year already through the outstandingly strong performance of Elena Telbis. On 1st March, Elena will join us for the first screening and a conversation in the bookstore. 

See you at the corner!

start of the screening: 7 PM 

*The play is in English, and there won't be Bulgarian subtitles. 

Prima Facie
Written by Suzie Miller
Directed by Justin Martin

Played by: Jodie Comer

Captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End, directed by Justin Martin (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), Jodie Comer plays Tessa, a young, brilliant barrister who 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 in this “unforgettable moment of theatre”
