CARYL CHURCHILL'S BLISTERING BRITISH CLASSIC
CLOSES THE 2013-2014 ENGLISH SEASON.
FEATURING A FANTASTIC ALL-FEMALE CAST!

Top Girls invites you to a fantastic dinner party, where historical and mythical women from across the ages gather to celebrate the promotion of London career girl, Marlene. Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's England and the fabulous 1980s, Top Girls is one of the most influential works of theatre to come out of the 20th Century – a daring and humorous portrait of women and success. Caryl Churchill's inventive and powerful classic continues to make waves over twenty years after its premiere.

Nationally prominent director Micheline Chevrier leads a top-notch cast including Laura Condlln, Leni Parker, Lauryn Allman, Lucinda Davis, Elana Dunkelman, France Rolland, and Julie Tamiko Manning.
