Six months later, she auditioned to play the role of a character in an episode of Prime Suspect 4: Inner Circle, which was broadcast on ITV on the 7th of May, 1995. She starred in the episode "Bramwell", a period drama series on TV, with her in the role of Kathleen Le Saux, a unhappy young wife. A few years later, she was a guest with Helen Mirren on Last Orders. She worked with Terry Johnson in four productions: Elton John's Glasses (1997), The London Cuckolds (1998), The Graduate (2000) and Piano/Forte (2006). Johnson wrote Piano/Forte and has stated she was a huge fan of Kelly. Reilly claims that she gained the most as an actor from Karel Reisz, who directed her in The Yalta Game in Dublin in 2001. She has stated that, "He was my masterclass." There is no way I would have been able to perform Miss Julie if I hadn't been able to perform that show."
