In London earlier this month, Jodie Comer won the Olivier Award for Best Actress for her performance, while the play won Best New Play—and both must surely be Tony Award favorites here.
star Comer is on stage throughout, inhabiting Tessa and a gallery of other characters—including her mother, best friend, and rapist. But most stunning is her presentation of Tessa who both goes through so much, and seems so much.
Comer impressively inhabits so many body and mind-moods in the show, such as in a sweaty club, dancing, letting “go of it all,” and then having consensual sex with her colleague Julian in the office. We see a person embracing and in charge of her sexual freedom, and then broken. “The way it’s operating is to interrogate the woman, not to interrogate the crime,” Miller said of the law. “This is a he-said/she-said case. There’s often very little other evidence. They’re often in complete agreement that the sex act happened, but it’s whether it was consensual or not.”
