Top Girls

Top Girls

By: Caryl Churchil

                I think there are several reasons why the play is called “Top Girls”. First, the play is all about women. There were no men in the play.  The main character Marlene is a career woman who is employed at the 'Top Girls' emp

loyment agency. She has to leave her family and child behind to get to where she wants to be.  She leaves her poor living conditions to go live the life that she wants, successful and rich.  Every woman in the play had their unique story behind them but what they all had in common was that they all had obstacles and struggles to get to “top”. In conclusion I believe the play was named “Top Girls” because the women in the play all had a story, in which they struggled to be successful and accomplish their goals.
