The outlet reported that the Killing Eve star’s manager helped her off stage after 10 minutes into the matinee performance.

A spokesperson for the show spoke to Variety, “Today’s matinee of Prima Facie was halted approximately 10 minutes into the performance after Jodie Comer had difficulty breathing due to the poor air quality in New York City because of smoke from the Canadian wildfires.”
