Jodie Comer is returning to her award-winning role in Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie, which will visit Richmond Theatre as part of a UK & Ireland tour from January 2026.
The Killing Eve star will play Tessa in this gripping, one-person play, which takes audiences to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
Tessa is a thoroughbred. A young, brilliant barrister who loves to win. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; prosecuting; cross examining and lighting up the shadows of doubt in any case.
An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
Prima Facie is helmed by director Justin Martin. The creative team also includes composer Rebecca Lucy Taylor, alongside set & costume designer Miriam Buether, lighting designer Natasha Chivers, sound designers Max and Ben Ringham, video by Willie Williams for Treatment Studio and Kate Godfrey who will be the voice coach.
Comer made her Broadway stage debut at the John Golden Theatre as well as her West End stage debut at the Harold Pinter Theatre in Prima Facie. It is produced by James Bierman for Empire Street Productions.
The production will open at Richmond Theatre on Friday, January 23, 2026, continuing on Saturday, January 24.
Tickets go on sale here on Tuesday, March 25.
