Top Girls
Marlene celebrates her new position as managing director of Top Girls Appointment Agency by giving a dinner party for five assorted women from centuries past. By Caryl Churchill.
Seven actresses take sixteen roles in this uncompromising assessment of high-profile and low-profile women, part fantasy, part hard-nosed reality.
Marlene celebrates her new position as managing director of the Top Girls Appointment Agency by giving a dinner party for five oddly assorted women from centuries past. But Marlene's own past will throw a question mark over her Top Girls success.
Author Caryl Churchill describes her play as 'a celebration of the extraordinary achievements of women'.
