Six months later, she auditioned for a role in an episode of Prime Suspect 4: Inner Circle which was aired on ITV on the 7th of May, 1995. She appeared in an episode of "Bramwell" the period drama series on TV, with her in the role of Kathleen Le Saux, a woman who is a troubled wife. A few years later, she played with Helen Mirren on Last Orders. She co-starred with Terry Johnson in four productions which included Elton's Glasses (1997), The London Cuckolds (1998), The Graduate (2000) and Piano/Forte (2006). Johnson wrote Piano/Forte and stated she was a fan of Kelly. Reilly has stated that she learned the most as an actor from Karel Reisz who was her director in The Yalta Game in Dublin in 2001. She said, "He was my masterclass." If I hadn't seen that play, it would've been impossible for me to become Miss Julie.
