Tessa is portrayed as a young, brilliant barrister who is forced to confront the intersection of law, proof, and morals due to an unexpected event.
Speaking about her return to the role, 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 and 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.”

The play, directed by Justin Martin, has an impressive creative team including composer Rebecca Lucy Taylor, set and costume designer Miriam Buether, and lighting designer Natasha Chivers.
Miller, who won the Olivier Award for Best Play for Prima Facie, expressed her excitement about the play’s 2026 tour.
She 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.”
The play will continue its partnerships with charities The Schools Consent Project and Everyone’s Invited.
The Schools Consent Project is a charity that educates young people about the legal definition of consent and key sexual offences.
Everyone’s Invited is a safe space for survivors to share their stories and is on a mission to eradicate rape culture.
James Bierman, producer of the play, said: “All of us involved in Prima Facie are honoured to be able to highlight and support the essential and brilliant work that Everyone’s Invited and The Schools Consent Project do up and down the country.
“Creating safe spaces for people to share their stories and be heard is vital, and to try and change the horrific levels of sexual assault we have in this country, we have to change the way we as a society see and talk about consent.
“By educating young people, the Schools Consent Project team are making the future a better place.”
Prima Facie is produced by James Bierman for Empire Street Productions.
