Marlene hosts a dinner party in a London restaurant to celebrate her promotion to managing director of 'Top Girls' employment agency. Her guests are five women from the past: Isabella Bird (1831- 1904) - the adventurous traveller; Lady Nijo (b1258) - the mediaeval courtesan who became a Buddhist nun and travelled on foot through Japan; Dull Gret, who as Dulle Griet in a Bruegel painting, led a crowd of women on a charge through hell; Pope Joan - the transvestite early female pope and last but not least Patient Griselda, an obedient wife out of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. As the evening continues we are involved with the stories of all five women and the impending crisis in Marlene's own life. A classic of contemporary theatre, Churchill's play is seen as a landmark for a new generation of playwrights. It was premiered by the Royal Court in 1982. "Top Girls has a combination of directness and complexity which keeps you both emotionally and intellectually alert. You can smell life, and at the same time feel locked in an argument with an agile and passionate mind." (John Peter, Sunday Times)

How hard working women's life is under Thatcher
评分Drama课学习过的drama
评分所有的女性在丘吉尔的名剧"Top Girls"里都是成功的输家。她们穿越时空聚集在无比惊艳的第一幕里，觥筹之间你看到了古往今来女性各式各样的牺牲；而当这些层次在现代的二三幕里一一呼应上之后，历史中的苦难顿时拥有了共时性。这种先扬后抑的结构和剧中如对位旋律般重叠的对话都加大了制作难度，但它们又十分必须，因为丘吉尔这是在说，女性自古即是一个整体，而这社会对她们永远是一所训练煎熬的大学。
