STUDENT EDITIONS TOP GIRLS - CARYL CHURCHILL ...

Marlene thinks the eighties are going to be stupendous. Her sister Joyce has her doubts. Her
daughter Angie is just frightened.    Since its premiere in 1982  Top Girls has become a
seminal play of the modern theatre. Set during a period of British politics dominated by the
presence of the newly elected Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher  Churchill's play prompts us to
question our notions of women's success and solidarity. Its 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 new Student Edition features an introduction by
Sophie Bush  Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University  UK prepared with the contemporary
student in mind.    METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT EDITIONS are expertly annotated texts of a wide range
of plays from the modern and classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of the play
itself  this volume contains:  · A chronology of the play and the playwright's life and work ·
an introductory discussion of the social  political  cultural and economic context in which the
play was originally conceived and created · a succinct overview of the creation processes
followed and subsequent performance history of the piece · an analysis of  and commentary on 
some of the major themes and specific issues addressed by the text · a bibliography of
suggested primary and secondary materials for further study.
