- Susanna White adapts the celebrated one-woman play 'Prima Facie' into a feature film, expanding it from a solo performance into multiple locations, characters, and what the source calls 'extremely demanding scenes.'
- Cynthia Erivo is cast as the 'major star' of the film, with White telling IndieWire that tackling the theatrical-to-cinematic expansion was 'exactly the kind of challenge she loves,' ahead of the TIFF premiere.
Why it matters: Susanna White's expansion of the celebrated one-woman play 'Prima Facie' into a multi-location, multi-character feature starring Cynthia Erivo reframes the source material beyond its theatrical solo-performer roots. White herself describes the adaptation — with its 'extremely demanding scenes' — as the kind of challenge she actively seeks.
