It’s 1980--or is it? Marlene is throwing a brilliant party to celebrate her promotion to managing director of the Top Girls Employment Agency—over a man vying for the same position. Marlene has invited only five others—all women—to her celebratory fantasia: famous women from history, fiction, and myth. Each of these women has faced adversity in her struggle to succeed. They all mingle over dinner and drink, and get to know each other’s histories. The stories they tell of their struggles through childbearing and loss toward success in a man’s world entertain and inform us...and the rest of the play—which takes place in Marlene’s present. What has changed—and what hasn’t—since 1980...or since the 12th or 13th or 16th or 19th Century? Or yet?
