Marlene hosts a dinner party in a London restaurant to celebrate
her promotion to managing director of 'Top Girls' employment
agency. Her guests are five women from the past: Isabella Bird
(1831- 1904) - the adventurous traveller; Lady Nijo (b1258) - the
mediaeval courtesan who became a Buddhist nun and travelled on foot
through Japan; Dull Gret, who as Dulle Griet in a Bruegel painting,
led a crowd of women on a charge through hell; Pope Joan - the
transvestite early female pope and last but not least Patient
Griselda, an obedient wife out of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. As
the evening continues we are involved with the stories of all five
women and the impending crisis in Marlene's own life. A classic of
contemporary theatre, Churchill's play is seen as a landmark for a
new generation of playwrights. It was premiered by the Royal Court
in 1982. "Top Girls has a combination of directness and complexity
which keeps you both emotionally and intellectually alert. You can
smell life, and at the same time feel locked in an argument with an
agile and passionate mind." (John Peter, Sunday Times)
