About Handbagged - Stephen Joseph Theatre

Queen Elizabeth II - the monarch. Margaret Thatcher - her most powerful subject.

Two women meet once a week for eleven years. One believes there is no such thing as society. The other has committed her life to serving it. Moira Buffini's wickedly funny comedy imagines what happened behind closed palace doors when the world's most powerful women clashed.

Winner of a 2014 Olivier Award and West-End smash hit, Handbagged takes us from 1979 to 1990 and asks if the Queen and the Iron Lady ever found common ground, or did their stiff upper lips reign supreme?
