Widely regarded as one of the best new plays of the 80s, Caryl Churchill's award-winning Top Girls was first seen at London's Royal Court Theatre in 1982 directed by Max Stafford-Clark. This first TV production (in association with the Royal Court) is also directed by Stafford-Clark and features two of the original all-female cast.
Seven actresses take 16 roles in this uncompromising assessment of high-profile and low-profile women, part fantasy, part hard-nosed reality. Marlene celebrates her new position as managing director of the Top Girls Appointment Agency by giving a dinner party for five oddly assorted women from centuries past. But Marlene's own past will throw a question mark over her Top Girls success. The author describes her play as "a celebration of the extraordinary achievements of women".
