*** Recommended *** “Top Girls” is an unusual play written by British playwright Caryl Churchill.  Since I’d seen the play before (a Dunes Summer Theatre production in 2010), I knew where it was going.  A word of warning, what with the weird dream sequence in Act I, will be more or less incomprehensible – at least until Act III, when you’ll figure it out.  “Top Gun” was written as a reaction to Margaret Thatcher’s election in England, so it has a definite feminist slant.  Because it’s ‘non-linear’, Churchill skips through time, which explains why the rest of us end up clueless.  3 Spotlights

The Towle Theater’s annual Season Preview is always a lovely event.  It’s a short evening, just about two hours, with a reception (light hors d’oevres and drinks in the lobby) followed by a season sampler, typically a short scene or a single song from each. Two plays and two musicals make up the Towle 2020 season, “Theater with Vision - It’s all in how you look at it”.  Managing Director Jeff Casey introduced each play, explaining how and why it was chosen.
