Top Girls

July 20–July 31, Main Stage

By Churchill, Caryl
Directed by Bonney, Jo

What kind of a victory is women’s progress in the workplace? Or is it a victory at all? At a dinner party celebrating Marlene’s promotion, five women, superstars of the golden ages of history, literature and art, weigh in on the personal sacrifices a woman makes to achieve success. More potent now than ever, Top Girls is the play that established Caryl Churchill as one of the late 20th century’s truly important "and prescient" playwrights.
