Emmy and BAFTA winner Jodie Comer is to return to her Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s acclaimed play Prima Facie in a new UK and Ireland tour.
Prima Facie will tour the UK and Ireland from January 2026, starting at Richmond Theatre on 23 January 2026, and then playing Dublin, Edinburgh, Cardiff, York, Bath, Canterbury, Birmingham and Liverpool.
Suzie Miller’s one-person play won an Olivier Award for Best Play, and sees Jodie Comer star as Tessa, 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 directed by Olivier Award-winner Justin Martin. The creative team also includes music by Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem), set and 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.
Jodie Comer said in a statement: “It is a huge privilege to return to Prima Facie for one last time and take this important play on tour across the UK & Ireland. The resonance of Suzie Miller’s writing, both in London and New York, exceeded anything we could have imagined. I’m so thrilled to have the opportunity to get the team back together and take the production to theatres around the country, including my hometown of Liverpool. On a personal note, I can’t think of a better finale to what has been such an incredible and deeply rewarding chapter in my life.”
Suzie Miller said: “I couldn’t be more thrilled about the Prima Facie 2026 tour; this play has already achieved more than we all could have dreamed, and 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.”
A partnership between Prima Facie and charities The Schools Consent Project and Everyone’s Invited will also continue for the tour.
Prima Facie is produced by James Bierman for Empire Street Productions.
Tickets are on sale from 25 March.
