A few years later, she appeared 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 she said that Kelly was "possibly the most natural, dyed-in the-wool actress I've worked with". Reilly stated that Karel Reisz was the person who taught her to be the best actress. He was her director in The Yalta Game, Dublin 2001. She claimed that Reilly was her masterclass.
