Top Girls

What happens when a successful businesswoman throws a dinner party and invites a 9th century pope, a Victorian explorer, and a Japanese courtesan? In Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls, the answer is equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and deeply revealing. Widely regarded as a landmark of contemporary feminist theatre, the play blends sharp comedy with incisive social critique to explore gender, ambition, and the costs of success. Through its inventive storytelling, sharp dialogue and an unforgettable cast of historical, mythical and contemporary women, Top Girls examines who gets ahead, who gets left behind, and whether “having it all” is ever quite as simple as it sounds. Funny and provocative, this modern classic challenges audiences to look beyond the glass ceiling and ask what lies on the other side.
