Top Girls

Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls is an investigation of what it takes to get to the top. If you could have dinner with anyone from history, whom would you choose? At Marlene’s celebration dinner to mark her promotion to Managing Director of the Top Girls Employment Agency, she has five guests – a Pope, a Warrior, a nineteenth century Traveller, a Japanese Emperor’s Courtesan and a Chaucerian Obedient Wife, all from centuries past – sharing a toast.
