This production began performances on 5th August and closed on 29th October 2011.
A piece of theatrical history. Genius.
Daily Mail
It's Thatcher's England and hard-nosed businesswoman Marlene is hosting a dinner party to celebrate her promotion to MD of the Top Girls Employment Agency. Her guests - all powerful women from myth and history - create an extraordinary gathering.
A provocative study of powerful women in Thatcher's Britain, the play examines the compromises made by women in the quest for success, and what happens to those left behind.
A modern classic. Witty, deeply felt and theatrically daring.
Daily Telegraph
