Jodie Comer scored a Tony nomination for Suzie Miller\u2019s \u2018Prima Facie,\u2019 the one-woman show in which she plays a barrister, Tessa, whose sense of self is upended by a sexual assault. It\u2019s an astonishing, 100-minute whirlwind where Comer doesn\u2019t leave the stage once. To watch her take audiences on that journey night after night, it\u2019s easy to forget that Comer\u2014best known for TV thriller \u201cKilling Eve\u201d and Ridley Scott\u2019s \u201cThe Last Duel\u201d\u2014is also making her Broadway debut. \n\n\u201cWhen 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,\u201d Comer tells us about accepting the role when it debuted on the West End in 2022. \u201cI 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?\u201d\n\nOn this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor\u2019s 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.\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
