Jodie Comer to make Broadway debut in 'Prima Facie'

June 10 (UPI) -- Emmy-winning, Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer has signed on to make her Broadway debut in Suzie Miller's play, Prima Facie.

"It has been an absolute privilege to tell Tessa's story here in London over the past few weeks and to now have the opportunity to take Prima Facie to Broadway is a dream come true," Comer said in a statement Thursday.

Justin Martin is directing the production, which is in the final two weeks of a sold-out run in London's West End ahead of its limited engagement in New York next spring.

A press release described Comer's character as "a thoroughbred" and a "young, brilliant barrister."

"She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning," the release noted. "An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge."

Comer's other credits include The Last Duel and The White Princess.
