GLORIA’S HANDBAG

Written by Helen Moulder and Sue Rider, directed by Sue Rider

A modern magical mystery with music from The Magic Flute

 

Starring Helen Moulder

“It’s imperative to have a good handbag when you’re on the way out”

“Six characters, expert story telling, opera singing and magic tricks, all performed by a cast of one” Keeping Up With NZ

“Highly enjoyable entertainment” - DominionPost

“Charming and poignant; an epic in miniature” -  Manawatu Standard

What would you think if your elderly mother suddenly spent $11,000 on a handbag?

It is 2021 and Gloria, aged ninety-seven, hasn’t long to live. Her son Craig is pushing her to move to a “retireville” but she wants to die in her own home. On a whim, Gloria buys an extraordinary designer handbag.  This purchase not only meets with huge disapproval from her son but sets off a series of unusual events which transform Gloria’s remaining days and enable her to send a message to the future.

Gloria’s Handbag opened in Wellington at Circa Theatre in March 2014. Since then Helen has been touring NZ , NSW & Queensland and is now touring in NZ again. She will be coming to the Country Homestead at Black Sheep Farm, Waipu on Saturday 14th November.

To find the elusive bag for the show Helen trawled through the internet  and hunted op shops and factory outlets throughout the country.  “It was a lot of fun,” she said. “I’ve always had a very basic handbag, but there are a lot of amazing ones out there!” Eventually Helen and director Sue Rider decided on having a one-off bag created by costume designer Gillie Coxill. “There is nothing like it anywhere,” Helen said. “It is extraordinary.”

Once again Helen has collaborated with Sue Rider to write this new show. They will be remembered for their acclaimed work together on Meeting Karpovsky and PlayingMiss Havisham, both of which have toured NZ.
