Actress Susie Blake comes fresh from a return to the cobbles of Coronation Street, as Bev Unwin, to play the Queen in Cheshire-born playwright Moira Buffini’s Olivier Award-winning comedy Handbagged, at The Lowry from September 15-19.
Handbagged opens the clasp on the relationship between two giants of the 20th century: the monarch and her most powerful subject, Maggie Thatcher.
Buffini's celebrated comedy speculates on what did the world's most powerful women really talk about behind closed Palace doors?
