Jodie Comer is bringing her Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in the one-person play Prima Facie to the Dublin stage as part of the legal drama's tour.

The production will be at the Gaiety Theatre from 27-31 January 2026.

Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday 25 March at 10am from Ticketmaster.

Written by Suzie Miller and directed by Justin Martin, Prima Facie "takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game".

"Tessa is a thoroughbred," the synopsis continues. "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."

Looking forward to the tour, Killing Eve star Comer 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 & Ireland. The resonance of Suzie Miller's writing, both in London and New York, exceeded anything we could have imagined."

"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," she added.
