What would you sacrifice to get to the top?
The second mainstage production of the year is Top Girls by the celebrated playwright Caryl Churchill. First produced in 1982 (last seen produced at the Shaw Festival in 2015) this contemporary play tells the story of Marlene, a career-driven woman who is only interested in women’s success in business. This smart, funny play takes a critical look at women in society and considers the conflicts that come with the pursuit of success and the desire to “have it all.” Directed by professor Danielle Wilson the production runs from Friday, March 2, 2018 to Saturday, March 10, 2018.
