Pri🐠ma Facie, which is Latin for 'at first sight,' is a one-woman play by Suzie Miller.

The play made its West End premiere in 2022, with Jodie Comer reprising her role as Tessa on Broadway in 2023.

"Jodie Comer’s powerhouse exploration of that struggle on Broadway is nothing short of beautiful and heart-𝄹wrenching," she continued. "When I read this script I knew it was important work to d👍o. I look forward to getting to know who Tessa is to me as Prima Facie goes from stage to screen."

Erivo is currently filming Jon M. Chu's Wicked, a feature-length film adaptation of the massively popular Broadway play. Erivo plays Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, alongside Ariana Grande's Glinda aka the Good Witch of the East.
