Justin Martin is one of the most prolific directors that has come across the West End and Broadway.
In 2022 he directed Jodie Comer in Prima Facie, a one woman show about a young lawyer called Tessa who fights for justice for those who have suffered from sexual assault, written by Suzie Miller. In what many critics and audiences called "the theatre event of 2022". Justin discusses how he first came across Miller's text, how he approached the project, choosing Miss Comer for the part and the reaction it got across the world. As well as how it may just be one person on stage, but like any other show or film, it's a group effort and you're certainly not alone. Justin has been involved with many projects with director Stephen Daldry having been his associate director on projects such as:- Billy Elliot, West End, Broadway and International Tour- The Audience, with Helen Mirren- Skylight with Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy- The Crown, seasons 1 and 2 for NetflixAs well as his own work that includes:- The Jungle, Young Vic, St Anne's Warehouse NY, San Francisco - soon to be a feature film currently in development- Together, starring James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan which received the BAFTA for Best Single Drama Justin takes me through how he approaches projects, how his roles differ from being an associate to main director and the experience of bringing Prima Facie to life.
