Jodie Comer scored a Tony nomination for Suzie Miller’s ‘Prima Facie,’ the one-woman show in which she plays a barrister, Tessa, whose sense of self is upended by a sexual assault. It’s an astonishing, 100-minute whirlwind where Comer doesn’t leave the stage once. To watch her take audiences on that journey night after night, it’s easy to forget that Comer—best known for TV thriller “Killing Eve” and Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel”—is also making her Broadway debut. “When I took on this role, I didn't know how I was going to do it, truth be told. And I think that was a huge draw,” Comer tells us about accepting the role when it debuted on the West End in 2022. “I was completely in awe. I thought, how will I ever execute this? I was really interested in that journey of: how do I get from where I am now, having no idea how I'm going to do it and struggling to imagine it, to performing this eight nights a week?” On this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Comer dives deep into how that journey took shape and the realities of carrying a Broadway show on your back eight shows a week. --- Backstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
