The second main stage production from 51²è¹Ý Meadows Theatre is Top Girls. It debuted October 22 at the Margo Jones Theatre, and it runs through Sunday. The production was declared by arts writer Mark Ravenhill to be “the best play in the last 20 years.”
It opens with a dinner party in a London restaurant thrown by Marlene, the newly promoted managing director of the Top Girls employment agency. Her guests are famous women from history and myth, including Pope Joan, the Victorian traveler Isabella Bird, the 13th-century Japanese-courtesan-turned-Buddhist-nun Lady Nijo.
