Speaking to the Daily Mail, Vicky Featherstone, Royal Court’s artistic director, described Linda as a darkly comic drama, where the heroine had believed she was making the world a better place for other women. ‘Linda won awards for a campaign which was about redefining beauty for ordinary women,’ Featherstone said.
‘But it dawns on her that her daughters have not turned out to be young feminists, her husband is distant and a younger version of herself — but without her ideals — is after her job.’
Featherstone also described 58 year old Cattrall as, ‘brilliantly fierce about not being a young woman any more … and not fierce in a vain way’. She also added that the actress, has 'taken control of her life and is not sitting back' and has refused to let Hollywood to define her.
