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, Moira Buffini’s play Handbagged was premiered at the Tricycle Theatre, London, in September 2013. It transferred to the Vaudeville Theatre in the West End in April 2014, and toured the UK in 2015.

This edition of the play is published by Faber & Faber.
