Speaking about her role, she said Ensler had been her “greatest teacher” and thanked Suzie Miller for writing the “wonderful piece” the producers and her team. “Every single person who felt represented by Tessa, that was my greatest honor,” said an emotional Comer. “And it continues to be! There are three weeks left!’
It is noted that the protagonist of the series “Killing Eve” won the Olivier Award for Best Actress in London for the same project.
According to indiewire, the curtain on “Prima Facie” directed by Justin Martin will fall on July 2.
