SYNOPSIS

​

It's the high-flying ’80s. Margaret Thatcher’s rise to power as Britain's first female prime minister inspires a new generation of women to take control of their futures and forge new and exciting careers.  Marlene celebrates her appointment as the managing director of Top Girls Employment Agency by throwing a fantastical dinner party attended by women from history, literature and art to share in her success.

 

Returning to the office on Monday, she discovers that not everyone is thrilled by her promotion and as her past begins to unravel, the sacrifices she made to get to the top are revealed. Caryl Churchill’s TOP GIRLS is a quick-witted, insightful and poignant anthem to feminism. 

​

TOP GIRLS was a 2021 AIM Dramatic Arts production featuring graduating Bachelor of Performance students.
