A Fast-Paced Theatrical Treat!
What really happened behind the closed doors of Buckingham Palace every week?
For 11 years, the most powerful woman in Britain, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, paid a weekly visit to the most famous woman in the world, Queen Elizabeth II. Moira Buffini’s acclaimed comedy, HANDBAGGED, brilliantly imagines the private friction, political posturing, and sheer social awkwardness of these legendary encounters.
This is a wickedly funny play that pits duty against conviction. You’ll never look at a handbag – or the monarchy – the same way again!
The two phenomenal male cast members embody countless male figures as required by the Thatcher’s and the Queen. They transform into Politicians, Reagan, Scargill, Murdoch, and even a humble Palace Footman – sometimes all within minutes!
Don’t miss this hilarious, insightful, and sharp-witted comedy.
