Description
Handbagged at Oldham Coliseum Theatre
Tuesday 14 May - Saturday 1 June 2019
The monarch and Her most powerful subject.
With great theatricality, Handbagged imagines what may have happened at the Queen’s infamous weekly meetings with Margaret Thatcher.
Entertainingly told and packed with satirical humour, the two women collide as they share their opposing views of Britain’s role in the world. With a supporting cast of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Geoffrey Howe, Denis Thatcher and others, Handbagged is funny, sharp and mischievous.
It became a huge West End hit and went on to be nominated for Best Comedy at the 2015 Olivier Awards.
“A clever, mischievous pleasure, with the sharp teeth of a kicked corgi”

Public Transport Directions
Access to Oldham town has never been easier thanks to Metrolink. The town centre line has three stops – Oldham Mumps, Oldham Central and Oldham King Street – meaning the many shops, attractions, events and leisure offer is all within a short distance. Journeys from Oldham Mumps into Manchester now only take around half an hour.
