See Killing Eve star Jodie Comer at Tyneside Cinema as Jodie Comer's play debut is captured live

Local fans of Killing Eve have a chance to watch its star Jodie Comer making her debut in a new play captured live from London.

The award-winning actress, who plays Villanelle in the hit BBC series, can be seen taking to the stage in one-woman play Prima Facie in a performance being screened at Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. And the event, starting this weekend, promises to be an opportunity for fans to see a whole new side to Comer who is best known for playing the psychopathic Russian assassin in Killing Eve opposite co-star Sandra Oh as MI6 agent Eve Polastri.

The cat-and-mouse thriller came to a shocking conclusion earlier this year and Comer this time takes on a solo starring role in Prima Facie, an award-winning drama by Suzie Miller, which sees her play a brilliant criminal defence barrister called Tessa who finds herself questioning her view of the legal system when she becomes the victim of an assault.
