Sinopse

"Comer gets to go deeper with the role; this isn’t a replication of her intrepid stage turn, but a continuation of it....It’s a nimble, beautifully modulated performance, and a showcase for Comer’s facility with voices."—The New York Times

This program is read by Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, The Last Duel, The End We Start From) who returns to her Tony- and Olivier Award-winning role in this audiobook edition of Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie. Reprising a stage performance hailed by The Guardian as "infusing breathtaking emotional drama into every word," Comer's masterful narration brings Tessa's story to life in this unforgettable program.

"Comer, who won Olivier (London) and Tony (Broadway) awards for her 100-minute stage performance, returns for an electrifying nine-plus hours of audiobook narration. [She] exhibits extraordinary breadth, revealing the many Tessas throughout: vulnerable teen, stubborn achiever, self-doubter, steely Londoner, powerful prosecutor, bullied witness, [and] exhausted young woman."—Booklist

“Enthralling and sharp-witted...Highly recommended.”—Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author

“Bold, fearless...Prima Facie is a deeply rewarding, absolute must read.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End

This is not life, this is law…

Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up to being a top criminal defense barrister against all the odds, and fights to defend those pleading not guilty. Tessa believes in the law, believes in the system. Her quick-witted cross-examinations and intelligence in the courtroom see her clocking up win after win—including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocence until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of a civilized society.

But when Tessa is raped by a coworker, she struggles to find the strength to bring him to justice in the face of the barriers and opposition within that same system. Determined to have her day in court, Tessa is forced to confront the stark reality that the law was not written for victims, and that she is the one on trial. She fights on, even as her evidence is manipulated to make her look like a liar, even while she is retraumatized in the stand.

Based on the Olivier and Tony Award-winning play, Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie is an unforgettable story of what happens when a victim is asked to navigate a system that is not set up to accommodate the lived experience of sexual assault survivors.

Resumo da Crítica

“Enthralling and sharp-witted—Prima Facie takes an unflinching look inside a legal system that is more punishing to the victims of sexual assault than it is to the assailants. A scathing and true look at how the legal system can retraumatize victims. Highly recommended.”—Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author

“Heartbreakingly timeless. Written with skill, humor, despair and hope.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End

"Miller delivers this powerful legal drama based on her 2023 Olivier and Tony award–winning play... [an] engrossing, emotionally honest story addressing contemporary issues around sexual assault, privilege, and social justice."Booklist

The endless injustice committed against women and Jodie Comer’s talent

As I couldn't watch the play on Broadway, being able to hear the great Jodie Comer narrate this story about crime and injustice was a very emotional experience.
