Galloglass Theatre Company present Top Girls by Caryl Churchill.
Directed by Jason Byrne
Churchill’s iconic play mixes fantasy and reality, history
and heresy to bring you the story of Marlene. Marlene has
just been promoted at work. In a world where men are the employers,
where do children and warmth and vulnerability have a place?
And if you must give them up, what are the consequences? Top
Girls is a deeply human, moving examination of feminist values
in the home, in the workplace and in our past, and the contrast
between a celebration of capitalism and the individual and
socialism and the collective. Sometimes political, sometimes
hilarious but always
painfully true.
Cast: Kate Nic Chonaonigh, Lesley Conroy,
Janice Byrne, Liz FitzGibbon, Louise Lewis, Elaine Fox, Nyree
Yergainharsian.
Tickets €15/€12
