Actress Laura Linney will make her London stage debut this summer in My Name in Lucy Barton.

The play is about a difficult reunion between a daughter living in Manhattan and her mother, who makes her first ever plane trip from rural Illinois to be at her side.

The stage production takes the form of a monologue, and will be directed by Richard Eyre.

My Name is Lucy Barton will have a three-week at the Bridge Theatre from 2-23 June.
