Tickets priced £20 are available for Handbagged, a play about Margaret Thatcher and the Queen, which takes place at the Stag Theatre Plaza Suite on Sunday 2 April. It commences at 7.30pm, but prior to that we will be gathering from 6pm onward in the bar at the Stag from 6pm onwards for a social event to receive a talk from a member of the production team. We are hoping to arrange a speaker who can inform on the workings of the Privy Council.
Included in the ticket price will also be your first drink, plus small snacks. For tickets please Contact Graham Clack at [email protected] Payment should be made on the day upon arrival in the Stag bar.
To whet your appetites we reproduce the advertising for the play. Not to be missed.
