Antaeus. L.A.’s classical theater ensemble, kicks off its 2014 season with a fully partner-cast production of the Obie Award-winning comedy by Caryl Churchill. Politics get personal in the go-getting 1980s of Margaret Thatcher's England when Marlene, who has just been made managing director of the Top Girls Employment Agency, discovers that life above the glass ceiling is not all it's cracked up to be. An insightful commentary on bourgeois feminism, this bold and ingenious work offers one of theater's most honest portraits of what it means to be a woman in the modern world. Shoulder-pads may no longer be in fashion, but Churchill’s masterpiece continues to resonate. March 6-May 4; THE ANTAEUS COMPANY, 5112 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood CA 91601; $15-$34; (818) 506-1983; www.Antaeus.org.
