Liverpool’s own Jodie Comer, star of Killing Eve, is set to reprise her award-winning role in Prima Facie in 2026.
Prima Facie is set to hit the stage at the Liverpool Playhouse with Comer from the 17th until the 21st of March.
The one-woman play written by Suzie Millar tells a powerful story which sees Comer play a barrister who defends men of rape before experiencing sexual assault herself, a performance which has led her to win both Oliver and Tony awards.
Comer said: “It is a huge privilege to return to Prima Facie for one last time,”
She added: “I can’t think of a better finale to what has been such an incredible and deeply rewarding chapter in my life.”’
Millar explained how Prima Facie explores the legal systems handling of sexual assault cases described by Millar as ‘not fit for purpose’ as she experienced them first hand when working as a lawyer for 15 years and has partnered with organisations like The Schools Consent Project and Everyone’s Invited to Raise Awareness.
Miller said: “Jodie’s commitment to the story reaching so many new venues and communities means more people can be part of the conversation, and the solution.”
The tour begins at the Richmond Theatre on the 23rd of January 2026, before visiting major venues across the UK and Ireland, including Dublin, Edinburgh, Cardiff, York, Bath, Canterbury, and Birmingham.
Directed by Justin Martin, the production features an original score by musician Rebecca Lucy Taylor, known as Self Esteem.
Tickets for the Prima Facie tour go on sale on 25th March.
