Handbagged
by Moira Buffini
A Theatre Nation Partnerships production, produced by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch
Booking and details
The Queen and her most powerful subject, behind closed doors.
Moira Buffini’s clever and fiercely funny comedy is a fly-on-the-wall look at what might have happened when Queen Elizabeth II and Margaret Thatcher came face-to-face in the privacy of the palace.
Over the course of a decade did the Monarch and the Iron Lady ever find a common ground, or did their stiff upper lips reign supreme?
This highly entertaining Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Theatre Nation Partnerships production explores the intense relationship between two of history’s most revered female leaders, and the legacy they each left behind.
Handbagged by Moira Buffini is touring as part of our Theatre Nation Partnerships network.
