"Top Girls"

Famous Women Come to Life in Historical Feminist Drama "Top Girls"

Which five people living or dead would you invite to dinner? Career-driven Marlene answers this question to include a lively dinner party with historic female figures such as Pope Joan, Lady Nijo, Isabella Bird, Dull Gret and Patient Griselda. In celebration of women playwrights, Shotgun Players presents Caryl Churchill's "Top Girls" at Berkeley's The Ashby Stage. As Marlene receives her well-deserved promotion at Top Girls Employment Agency, this historical drama takes you through the parallel lives of women from the past and present in order to contemplate the future of women and what it means to be successful in a male-driven society.
