TOP GIRLS by Caryl Churchill

Granary Theatre | 28th - 30th Aug | 8pm

DO you remember the 1980’s ?

Do you remember Margaret Thatcher ?

DO you remember when women were girls ?

DO you remember when they stayed at home ?

When they wore skirts ?

Do you remember when it changed ?

Caryl Churchill’s iconic play TOP GIRLS mixes fantasy and reality, history and heresy to bring you the story of Marlene. A bit too old to be a “girl”, with a healthy taste for whisky, Marlene has just been promoted at work. In a world where men are the employers, where do children and warmth and vulnerability have a place?  And if you must give them up, what are the consequences?

TOP GIRLS is a deeply human, moving examination of feminist values in the home, in the workplace and in our past, and the contrast between a celebration of capitalism and the individual and socialism and the collective. Sometimes political, sometimes hilarious but always painfully true.

Directed by Jason Byrne
