Jodie Comer was plagued by sleepless nights while playing a rape victim on stage. The 30-year-old actress, who was propelled to fame in Hollywood after her breakout role as assassin Villanelle in Killing Eve, took on the gruelling role of a barrister in one-woman theatre show Prima Facie in 2019, in which she played lawyer Tessa, who defends men accused of sexual assault before she is sexually assaulted by a colleague. She told The Sunday Times about how hard she found the part: My sleep was all over the place. Its tricky when you do something emotional. You think, OK, its not real.
