Summary

Handbags, hairspray and sensible shoes.

The monarch – Liz.
Her most powerful subject – Maggie.

One believed there was no such thing as society. The other had vowed to serve it.

Opening the clasp on the antipathy between two giants of the twentieth century, Handbagged by Moira Buffini premiered at the Tricycle Theatre in September 2013.
