Description

Top Girls is a seminal play of the modern theatre, set against the backdrop of 1980s British politics. Written by Caryl Churchill, the play explores the complexities of women's success and solidarity in a society dominated by the presence of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. This new Student Edition features an introduction by Sophie Bush, providing a fresh perspective on the play and its context. The play's sharp look at the society and politics of the 1980s is combined with a timeless examination of women's choices and restrictions regarding career and family. This annotated edition includes a chronology of the play and the playwright's life and work, as well as an introductory discussion of the social, political, cultural and economic context in which the play was originally conceived and created. With its expert annotations and analysis, this Student Edition is an ideal resource for students and scholars of theatre and drama. The complete text of the play is accompanied by a bibliography of suggested primary and secondary materials for further study, making it a valuable addition to any library.
