One of the biggest theatre shows on the planet has arrived at Liverpool Playhouse Theatre 🎭 

Starring the phenomenal Jodie Comer, Prima Facie is a complete sell out and on until Saturday.

We spoke to Mark Da Vanzo of Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse about the impact the production will have on the theatre and culture across the city.

It’s a homecoming gig for Jodie, who visited the theatre with her family when she was a child, an experience that helped her learn her craft and make her this incredible actress she is today.

If you’re going to the show you’re in for a treat, thank you for coming to Liverpool Prima Facie! 🤩
