A celebratory gem of a performance with great music, dancing and handbags. In an empty venue, the caretaker sweeps away the remnants of a previous event. A women enters centre stage and puts down her handbag. A beat begins, a mirror ball turns and the sound of a classic dance track fills the air.

…succinctly makes the point that no woman needs a man when she has got her handbag in tow.
