It has been announced that The Tricycle Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of Moira Buffini’s Handbagged will transfer to the West End. This marks the first West End transfer under Indhu Rubasingham’s tenure as Artistic Director.
Handbagged will open at the Vaudeville Theatre on Thursday 10th April (previews from 3rd April) and run until Saturday 2nd August.
Marion Bailey, Stella Gonet, Fenella Woolgar, Neet Mohan and Jeff Rawle reprise their original roles, and will be joined by Lucy Robinson who completes 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."
As Handbagged opens in the West End, Rubasingham’s Tricycle production of the multi-award-winning Red Velvet will be running at St Ann’s Warehouse in New York, and in Kilburn the Tricycle Young Company will be performing across the building with the first Tricycle Takeover Festival.
The play is presented by Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Tricycle London Productions.
