Marion Bailey, Stella Gonet, Fenella Woolgar, Neet Mohan and Jeff Rawle reprise their original roles, with Lucy Robinson completing the company. Indhu Rubasingham directs, with designs by Richard Kent, lighting design by Oliver Fenwick, and sound design by Carolyn Downing.

Indhu Rubasingham said: “It's thrilling to be transferring Moira Buffini's wonderful new play to the Vaudeville Theatre after our sold out run at the Tricycle. Having nurtured it since 2010, this is a fantastic opportunity to continue the Tricycle’s long tradition of bringing new work to the widest possible audience."

Located in Kilburn, the Tricycle Theatre is currently going from strength to strength. One of the theatre’s most successful shows is The 39 Steps which transferred from the Tricycle to the West End’s Criterion Theatre in September 2006 and is now in its 8^th year.

Handbagged is presented by Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Tricycle London Productions.
