Exeter Northcott - Top Girls
Click to enlarge images below:
Out of Joint and Chichester Festival Theatre present the acclaimed West End hit Top Girls by Caryl Churchill. One of the seminal plays of the twentieth century, Top Girls flashes with razor-sharp wit and ingenious theatricality.
Thatcher's England: hard-nosed, go-getting 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, make for an extraordinary gathering.
Top Girls becomes a muscular, moving study of success – the compromises Marlene has made and, chillingly, what happens to those left behind.
Max Stafford-Clark directed the premiere of Top Girls in 1982. His brand new production, of a play that is now celebrated as a modern classic, was a hugely acclaimed hit in the West End in 2011.

Directed by Max Stafford-Clark.
