Prima Facie Tickets at Gaiety Theatre

Jodie Comer is to return to her acclaimed, Olivier and Tony Award winning performance in Suzie Miller’s multi award winning play, Prima Facie.

Jodie will play Tessa in this gripping, one-person play which takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Along with unanimous rave reviews, Jodie won the Olivier Award when she made her theatrical debut in the production at The Harold Pinter Theatre in London and subsequently also won the Tony Award when the play transferred to Broadway. The NTLive and Empire Street Productions live capture has also enjoyed two record breaking theatrical releases.

 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.

 Jodie commented of the Tour:

“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.”

 Prima Facie is helmed by Olivier Award winning director Justin Martin. The creative team also includes Rebecca Lucy Taylor – the Brit Award nominated star of Self Esteem – who is the production’s composer, 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.

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.’

Prima Facie is produced by James Bierman for Empire Street Productions.
