‘Prima Facie’, ‘Fleabag’ Opens CCP National Theatre Live 2025 Line-up
The CCP National Theatre Live (CCP NTL) kicks off 2025 with Prima Facie and Fleabag, two powerful one-woman plays featuring Jodie Comer and Phoebe Waller-Bridge respectively.
The Philippine cinema premiere of Prima Facie is slated on January 28, 6pm, at Ayala Malls Cinemas in Glorietta, Makati, while Fleabags returns at Vertis North in Quezon City and Central Bloc in Cebu on the same day.
Prima Facie
Olivier and Tony Award winner Jodie Comer stars in the Suzie Miller play as a lawyer grappling with law and morality. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game – defending, cross examining, and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof, and morals diverge.
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.
Fleabag
Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.
The award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series with the same title was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019.
Through the partnership of CCP, National Theatre Live, and Ayala Malls Cinema, the second season of CCP NTL continues until May 27, 2025.
First launched in June 2009, UK’s National Theatre Live is a groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre live from the London stage to cinemas across the United Kingdom, around the world, and now in the Philippines. Digitally filmed in high-definition quality, NTL films their plays in front of live theater audiences, but optimized for the big screen and made accessible to theater fans across the globe.
Regular ticket price is at Php300 in Makati and Cebu, and Php350 in Vertis North, with special ticket price for students at Php150. They can be purchased through sureseats.com.
