Top Girls

From Theatre Breaks

Top Girls opens at London’s Trafalgar Studios on Friday August 5th 2011.

Max Stafford-Clark and Caryl Churchill are re-united once again for this smash-hit transfer from Chichester.

The critics are raving that this powerful and brilliant new production substantiates Top Girls as one of the great modern classics.

It's Thatcher's England and hard-nosed businesswoman Marlene is hosting a dinner party to celebrate her promotion to MD of the Top Girls Employment Agency. Her guests – all powerful women from myth and history – create an extraordinary gathering.

A provocative study of powerful women in Thatcher's Britain, the play examines the compromises made by women in the quest for success, and what happens to those left behind.

Starring:

Stella Gonet, Suranne Jones, Catherine McCormack, Lucy Briers, Laura Elphinstone, Lisa Kerr and Olivia Poulet.
