Katy Brand

For this Chops, we sent intrepid journalist Hazel Davis to make friends with Katy Brand and Anita Dobson – she totally came up trumps. The chat centres on Brand's forthcoming debut play, 3Women, which eavesdrops on a chat between, um, three women – a daughter, mother and grandmother in the same family – before a big family do. Dobson plays grandmother Eleanor. This is a cracking chat about women, generational differences, feminism and that time Anita thought she was a dormouse.
