Fiona Shaw spoke to HeyUGuys at the Ladies First UK Premiere at Ham Yard Hotel, London, and delivered one of the most incisive takes of the evening on why this particular satire lands with such force right now. In Ladies First, Shaw plays the receptionist caught between two very different worlds, and her description of the set's transformation — from vast, cold office to something altogether softer and pinker — is as vivid as the film's premise itself. She also had a story about Sacha Baron Cohen and Kathryn Hunter that no one else could have told.

Interviews for Ladies First at the UK Premiere. The film stars Sacha Baron
Cohen, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Emily Mortimer, Charles Dance,
Fiona Shaw, Tom Davis, Weruche Opia and Kathryn Hunter; it was written by
Natalie Krinsky, Katie Silberman and Cinco Paul and directed by Thea Sharrock.

Colin Hart and Abigail Shii ask the questions.

Plot: High-powered ad exec Damien Sachs has it all — money, power, and a
never-ending stream of casual flings. But on the eve of his promotion to
CEO, he wakes up in his personal worst nightmare: a parallel world dominated
by women, where the rules are reversed and he must go head-to-head with a
formidable female counterpart who threatens everything he thought he knew.
Ladies First will be available on Netflix from 22nd May 2026.
