Top Girls Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Caryl Churchill’s 1982 drama “Top Girls” is widely considered one of the best British plays of the 20th century, but until this week, it was one of those modern classics that I’d never had the opportunity to see live. After attending Raven Theatre Company’s new production, directed by Lucky Stiff, I’m glad to report that it was worth the wait. With a top-notch cast and slick production design, Churchill’s clever concoction of speculative fiction, corporate satire and family drama remains sharp and timely."

Around The Town Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Despite the fascinating questions being raised, the story is much too choppy and overly wordy. At 2 hours and 40 minutes with two intermissions, the performance is entirely too long, especially as it’s only in the third act that we start to figure out the purpose behind it all. By then, it’s almost too late. Churchill has created a nonlinear plot, with the elements being presented in such an unfocused manner that we start to lose the thread even before the argument is presented in full."
