SYNOPSIS:

Patriarchy.

It’s a big word in our society at the moment.

Set in the early 1980s, Top Girls depicts the lifestyle and life choices of its central character, Marlene. A successful career woman, who’s just received a major promotion, who indisputably fought her way to the top to get it – Marlene’s star is rising. 

To celebrate, she throws a fabulous Saturday night dinner party for herself. In attendance are not friends, family, or colleagues, but astoundingly famous women from history, literature, and legend.  The women share their extraordinary experiences of life, work, love, and children. 

Enter Marlene to Top Girls Employment Agency, a dazzling hot and prominent business in central London where Marlene has just scored the prime position.   She is Top Girl in a man’s world, but she has a sister whose life is very different. The uncovering of their secrets reminds us of what is really important and what it is we are prepared to lose.
