Irish novelist Anne Enright is the author of seven novels, including The Gathering, winner of the Booker Prize in 2007. Her 2012 novel The Forgotten Waltz won the Andre Carnegie Medal for Fiction and her novel The Green Road won The Irish Novel of the Year in 2015, the same year that she was appointed as the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction. Her latest novel The Wren, The Wren has been shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024.Anne tells John Wilson how her childhood home in the suburbs of Dublin, and holidays spent at the Pollock Holes in Kilkee inform her writing. She recalls her book-devouring household and first reading Ulysses while on a cycling holiday at the age of 14. The play Top Girls by Caryl Churchill was also a creative influence, particularly in the way Churchill wrote dialogue for women who were at the time, so underrepresented on stage. Anne also cites the influence of the writer Angela Carter, both as a writer of contemporary fiction and as her tutor and mentor at the University of East Anglia.

To unpack the politics and theatrical risk-taking of Caryl Churchill, we're joined by experts, creatives and performers immersed in her work.Also, the sumptuous American musical Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 was a sensation in New York, where it was nominated for 12 Tony Awards.

A reimagining of Caryl Churchill's ground-breaking and celebrated play, Top Girls, opens this week at the Liverpool Everyman which sets the play – about female ambition and success across centuries and cultures - in Merseyside. Playwright Charlotte Keatley and theatre critic Susannah Clapp discuss the play's themes and its continuing impact forty years after its premiere. Prince Harry's book Spare and the ripples it's created have led to questions about the writing and publication of memoirs. In recent years, there has been a widening of the voices encouraged to write and getting published, but what is the impact on the authors, and should there be a greater duty of care? Agent Rachel Mills and Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love, a memoir about losing her brother, join Front Row to discuss. The show must go on has long been the mantra of those working in theatre but last August, David Byrne, Artistic Director of New Diorama Theatre, made an astonishing announcement which began with the words, “The end of the show must go on” and went on to state that the theatre would be closing its doors for at least six months to allow time for an artistic reset. As New Diorama Theatre reopens, David joins Front Row to discuss what the resetting has revealed.

Lesley Manville made her debut on the West End stage as a teenager in 1972, and since then has taken on a wide range of roles on stage and screen, including an Oscar-nominated performance in the film Phantom Thread. She was born in Brighton and first enjoyed performing as a singer, winning competitions with her sister. When she was 15, she commuted daily to the Italia Conti stage school in London. Her first professional role was in a West End musical, and in 1974 she joined the cast of the ITV soap opera Emmerdale Farm. After two years she decided to leave, even though the work was well paid, and return to the stage. At the Royal Court in London she appeared in some of the most critically acclaimed new plays of the 1980s including Caryl Churchill's Top Girls, and Andrea Dunbar's Rita, Sue and Bob Too. She has also enjoyed a long collaboration with the film director Mike Leigh, memorably playing the alcoholic Mary in Another Year. Her recent TV roles include starring as Cathy in the popular BBC Two sitcom Mum, for which she won a Royal Television Society Award in 2019. She has also played Princess Margaret in The Crown, including a scene in which Margaret shares her favourite records on a BBC radio progamme. She was appointed a CBE in 2021.

In each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Caryl Churchill's play Top Girls was a powerful critique of Thatcherite Britain when it was written in 1982. It's rightly renowned for its theatrical invention and innovative structure, and remains relevant for its enduring questions about the opportunities, and opportunity costs, for women acorss the ages.

Caryl Churchill's play, Top Girls, was written in the early 1980s and first performed in 1982. An outstanding piece of socio-cultural satire, it was also a timely response to Neoliberalism. When Churchill wrote the play, Neoliberalism was being foisted full-stop on Britain by its enthusiastic practitioner, Margaret Thatcher. That was then. Today, her critique continues to stand tall.

本期节目我们一期聊下英国女性剧作家的卡罗尔·丘吉尔（Caryl Churchill） 1982 年首演的全女班话剧，Top Girls。这出戏写于英国第一位女性首相如日中天的八十年代，同时英美都处于自由经济高速发展，社会主义阵营萎缩的时期。本期嘉宾是方曌和Gigi。支持文化土豆，请访问我们的官网： www.culturepotato.com大英百科全书对丘吉尔对介绍：When Churchill was 10, she immigrated with her family to Canada. She attended Lady Margaret Hall, a women’s college of the University of Oxford, and remained in England after receiving a B.A. in 1960. Her three earliest plays, Downstairs (produced 1958), Having a Wonderful Time (produced 1960), and Easy Death (produced 1962), were performed by Oxford-based theatrical ensembles.During the 1960s and ’70s, while raising a family, Churchill wrote radio dramas and then television plays for British television. Owners, a two-act, 14-scene play about obsession with power, was her first major theatrical endeavour and was produced in London in 1972. During her tenure as resident dramatist at London’s Royal Court Theatre, Churchill wrote Objections to Sex and Violence (1974), which, though not well-reviewed, led to her successful association with David Hareand Max Stafford-Clark’s Joint Stock Company and with Monstrous Regiment, a feminist group. Cloud 9 (1979), a farce about sexual politics, was successful in the United States as well as in Britain, winning an Obie Award in 1982 for playwriting. The next year she won another Obie with Top Girls(1982), which deals with women’s losing their humanity in order to attain power in a male-dominated environment. Softcops (produced 1984), a surreal play set in 19th-century France about government attempts to depoliticize illegal acts, was produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Serious Money (1987) is a comedy about excesses in the financial world, and Icecream(1989) investigates Anglo-American stereotypes. The former received an Obie for best new American play.The prolific Churchill continued to push boundaries. In 1997 she collaborated with the composer Orlando Gough to create Hotel, a choreographed opera or sung ballet set in a hotel room. Also that year her surrealistic short play This Is a Chair was produced. She later explored issues of identity in A Number (2002), about a father and his cloned sons. For the drama, Churchill won her third Obie for playwriting. Also in 2002 she won an Obie for sustained achievement. Her subsequent works included Love and Information (2012) and Escaped Alone (2016).节目中提到的作品信息话剧Top Girls，卡罗尔·丘吉尔播放流国内：https://www.bilibili.com/video/av8515768播放流国外：https://youtu.be/iGWD0r0f9GoS话剧愤怒回首，奥斯本https://book.douban.com/subject/3295251/小说金色笔记，莱辛http://culturepotato.com/blog/085话剧Owners，卡罗尔·丘吉尔https://www.douban.com/location/drama/25765933/皇廷剧场Royal Courts Theatrehttps://royalcourttheatre.com/about/电影洛基恐怖秀 , Richard O'Brienhttps://movie.douban.com/subject/1292050/电影三块广告牌， 马丁·麦克唐纳https://movie.douban.com/subject/26611804/博客伊莎贝拉·伯德的中国摄影之旅https://book.douban.com/review/7479519/回忆录不问自语/とはずがたり，後深草院二条https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Lady-Nijo/dp/0804709300/油画Mad Mag，Pieter Bruegel the Elderhttps://www.museummayervandenbergh.be/en/page/mad-meg人物琼安教皇https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/女教宗瓊安人物耐心的格瑞塞达https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griselda_(folklore)非虚构通往维根码头之路，奥威尔https://book.douban.com/subject/26587222/电影饮食男女，李安https://movie.douban.com/subject/1291818/电影海街日记，是枝裕和https://movie.douban.com/subject/25895901/电影珠光宝气，戚其义https://movie.douban.com/subject/2996855/电影千年女优，今敏https://movie.douban.com/subject/1307394/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s Episode Four – “Rosellen” This is the second of four interviews I was able to conduct during rehearsals – and I was really lucky to be able to chat with Kelli Fox! Kelli is an actor/director with more than 30 years experience on stages across Canada, and in the U.S., including 13 seasons with the Shaw Festival, and 3 seasons with the Stratford Festival. From fall of 2017 to the spring of 2018 she served as Artistic Associate at Globe Theatre in Regina.

Kelli is currently directing Cakewalk at the Blyth Festival Theatre – which opens this Thursday, June 26th! So Happy Opening Week! Our chat was a really cool exploration of what it’s like to work with Judith Thompson, her career as a director and her first fringe show in Vancouver – there may be some singing involved…. It was also her birthday! Have a listen!   What I learned about Producing this week: There's a really cool website called Generator - "Generator is a mentoring, teaching, and innovation incubator that expands the skills, tools, and competencies of independent artists, producers and leaders. From intensive programs to workshops, Generator is transforming the role of the artist producer one artist at a time. Also by Generator: ArtistProducerResource.com" From checklists to grants, this is a great first stop on a producing journey!

Top Girls was written by British playwright Caryl Churchill, and first performed back in 1982.

Top Girls explores all this in some remarkable and unpredictable ways. Top Girls, 12 Feb – 24 Mar 2018, Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House www.sydneytheatre.com.au/topgirls Seeing the show?

Angela Lin (Coram Boy, Chinglish, Top Girls) and Rory have known each other since freshman year of college when they were naive 18 year olds with a dream. Angela talks about her experience as an Asian actress and how she has been able to stay positive through the challenges that the business presents her through faith and community. Rory and Angela have been having these conversations about surviving the entertainment world for nearly 15 years now.  Clearly they get through it with a lot of laughs. 

The Guildhall School’s spring drama season continues with Caryl Churchill’s 1982 play Top Girls, opening on 8 February.
