Marlene is a successful businesswoman with an unsuccessful personal life. She has left her poor life behind to enjoy success. Top Girls opens in a restaurant where Marlene is hosting a dinner party for five friends – the five guests are all women that are either long-dead or are fictional characters from literature or paintings. In much the same way Tony Kushner incorporates dreamlike sequences to explore issues of AIDS in Angels in America, Top Girls explores issues of feminism in the shadow of Margaret Thatcher’s policies in Great Britain.
