Jodie Comer is set to reprise her acclaimed role in Prima Facie during a final tour in 2026, including her hometown of Liverpool. The play, written by Suzie Miller, explores the complexities of the legal system in cases of sexual assault, highlighting challenges in proving rape convictions. Premiering in 2022, the production broke box office records and received multiple accolades, including Olivier awards. Comer's emotionally charged performance has places emphasis on the importance of this conversation, complemented by partnerships with organizations focused on consent education. Tickets go on sale on 25 March.
"The resonance of Suzie Miller's writing, both in London and New York, exceeded anything we could have imagined," said Comer.
"It is a huge privilege to return to Prima Facie for one last time, said Comer. I can't think of a better finale to what has been such an incredible and deeply rewarding chapter in my life."
"Researching the play, the Prima Facie team sat in on real trials. Accepting the Olivier award for best new play in 2023, Miller thanked barristers and judges at the Old Bailey."
"Miller has said that, in such cases, the forum of the court is not fit for purpose."
