Top Girls Broadway - Masterwork That You Must See
Top Girls Broadway is finally here. Yes, you have read it right. Finally, you will be able to see Caryl Churchill's masterwork on Broadway. Top Girls is a unique portrait of the modern women.
Marlene has just been appointed as the head of the firm. She is a very ambitious career woman and as she celebrates her achievements, we agree and applaud her values. Top Girls is a very bold work from a very talented author of Far Away and Cloud Nine. Top Girls Broadway offers an extremely honest portrait of what it is like to be a woman in the modern world.
Premiere In 1982
Top Girls first premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London on August 28, 1982. The same year, it transferred to The Public Theatre in New York City. Here, it played 40 performances. The play again reopened at The Public Theatre in March 1983. It played 89 performances and went on to win the 1983 Obie Award for Playwriting and Ensemble.
Story Of Marlene
Top Girls is the story of Marlene, who has just been appointed as the head of the firm. The play is about her working values and her interactions with the family that she has left ...
... behind to pursue her career goals. She has left her child behind with her apparently infertile sister, Joyce. We find this out in the end.
The play was written during the Margaret Thatcher era and it implicitly condemns the rise of Thatcherite values in the society. Top Girls Broadway portrays Marlene as a career oriented lady who is soulless, exploits other women for her gains, and suppress her own instincts in order to achieve success.
Can We Relate To It?
Top Girls Broadway looks at the sacrifices and choices that women have to make in this modern world. The play questions whether it is actually possible for a woman to have a successful career and a happy family. Can we understand and appreciate the values that Marlene holds so dear?
Top Girls is famous for its dreamlike opening sequence. In the opening sequence, Marlene meets many famous women from history. She meets Pope Joan (disguised as a man), Isabella Bird (the explorer), Dull Gret (the harrower from hell), Lady Nijo (Japanese mistress of an emperor), and Patient Griselda (she is the patient wife from The Clerk's Tale in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales). The women have gathered to celebrate the ascendancy of Marlene to the office of Managing Director at an employment agency. The play shows that each of these women has suffered in similar ways.
