Finally, but definitely not least, many thanks to my family for their ongoing support, especially my brother Vince for sharing my interest in all things dramatic, my father Bert for always talking to me about politics, and most of all, my mother for exposing me to the joys of the theatre. Thanks to Janna Segal for many late-night conversations. Many thanks to Genny Blewett, Golnag Tahsini and Mark Alkons for their assistance during the writing process. Thank you to Patricia Wilshire and Caroline Brooks for always welcoming me to London. Personally, I would like to express my gratitude to Kandace Korth and Gordon Wiser for providing me with wonderful getaways where I could write in peace. I would also like to thank faculty members at the University of California, Irvine and University of California, San Diego for their encouragement, especially Bryan Reynolds, John Rouse, Nadine George, Laura O'Connor and Jim Carmody. I am grateful to Elaine Aston and Graham Saunders for their welcoming generosity and knowledge while researching in the UK. I would very much like to thank Janelle Reinelt for inspiring my interest in Caryl Churchill and for her numerous helpful suggestions during the writing process of this book.
Of course I would also like to acknowledge Caryl Churchill for writing such a thought-provoking play.
Methuen Drama (A&C Black Publishers Ltd) allowed me to cite from the text of Top Girls used in Caryl Churchill Plays: 2.1 would like to acknowledge Michael Daniels for permission to print his photo of Bianca Amato as Marlene from the Guthrie 1996 production of Top Girls on the cover of this book.
