Take your seat for the 2026 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival's Centrepiece Premiere of the compelling courtroom drama Prima Facie on Sunday, 15 November, with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine or mocktail on arrival! Academy Award® nominee Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) delivers a commanding performance in Prima Facie, Susanna White’s gripping legal drama adapted by Suzie Miller from her Olivier Award-winning stage phenomenon. Tessa (Erivo) is a brilliant, fiercely ambitious defence barrister who has fought her way from a working-class background to dominate London’s ruthless courtrooms. Skilled at dismantling testimony and exposing doubt, she regularly defends men accused of sexual assault. But when Tessa is assaulted by a colleague from a powerful legal dynasty, she suddenly finds herself on the other side of the system she has built her career believing in.
