Killing Eve star Jodie Comer will star in a one-woman play coming to York.

The Emmy, BAFTA, Olivier and Tony award-winning actress will be performing in Prima Facie at the Grand Opera House York next year. 

Jodie won the Olivier Award when she made her theatrical debut in the production at The Harold Pinter Theatre in London.

The British actor later went on to win the Tony Award when the play transferred to Broadway.

Suzie Miller’s multi-award winning drama follows Tessa, a young barrister who rises from working-class origins to the top of her profession. 

An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Jodie is an international star of stage, screen and Hollywood.

She transfixed a global TV audience with her portrayal of psychopathic assassin Villanelle in the BBC’s Killing Eve.

She played opposite Stephen Graham in Channel 4 drama Help set in the NHS during teh Covid crisis.

On the big screen, Jodie starred in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel alongside Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Adam Driver.

She’ll next be seen in Danny Boyle’s latest instalment in the 28 Years Later trilogy, alongside Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O’Connell.

Jodie said: “It is a huge privilege to return to Prima Facie for one last time and take this important play on tour across the UK.

“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.”

Suzie Miller added: “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.”
