The Welsh-born actress who began her career playing Masha in Three Sisters, Ibsen's Hedda Gabler and Shaw's Saint Joan is about to arrive in Glasgow at the end of a long tour with high-octane physical theatre company Frantic Assembly. The company will be presenting Lovesong, a play by writer of Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady and Steve McQueen's sex-addiction flick, Shame, Abi Morgan. In Lovesong, Phillips plays a woman working her way through her entire 40 years of marriage, "from love's first fever to its plague", as Dylan Thomas wrote.
