Liz vs Maggie: an irresistibly mischievous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II's relationship with her Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Two icons, one vintage: one born to rule - the other elected to lead. But what's in the iron hand and the kid gloves? Who will come out on top in the end? In her comedy, Moira Buffini speculates on the conversations the two most powerful women in the world really had behind closed palace doors. Handbagged plays with our historical consciousness. It makes the point that while we remember the great events of our time, they tell us nothing about the everyday lives of those affected by the decisions of the powerful.
