A major national tour of Moira Buffini’s brilliantly funny play Handbagged will visit Wolverhampton Grand Theatre as part of the Theatre Nation Partnerships initiative convened by the National Theatre.

Moira Buffini’s clever, funny and charming political comedy unlocks the Buckingham palace door, imagining the untold conversations of two of history’s most powerful women, Margaret Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth II.

Ronald Reagan, Denis Thatcher and an ensemble of familiar faces add to the biting satire and sharp humour as the gloves come off and personalities clash.

25 years later, with both women now gone, their shadows still loom large, as this Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Theatre Nation Partnerships production explores the legacy of this divisive premiership, leaving audiences to question what they truly know about those who decide our nation’s destiny.

Handbagged visits Wolverhampton Grand Theatre from 27 February – 1 March 2025. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 4 October at grandtheatre.co.uk
