“…it’s hard to imagine you’ll come across a more brilliant play this year…mischievous, funny…plugged into our modern world”
– Time Out
Three old friends and a neighbour: a summer of afternoons in the backyard garden, drinking tea and chatting, lots of gossip, lots of idle chit chat, casual conversation becomes a pool of radiance defiant of the terrible darkness outside.
This wryly funny play from the renowned Caryl Churchill, Top Girls, Cloud Nine, celebrates the Women’s Theatre Festival at Circa. “[Churchill] has lost none of the courage and inventive imagination that have made her one of the most exciting and unpredictable playwrights of the last half-century…” – British Theatre Guide
