it is so hard being the sole member of the angie fandom but it is a banner i wave with pride
#top girls
#angie
#literally no one understands her but me.
#90% of angies in productions of top girls make me absolutely murderous
#like how could you get a character so deeply wrong
#absolutely batshit to me that so many productions make her severely intellectually disabled as if that isn’t simultaneously ableist to that
#community + reductive of the character + a complete ruination of the thematic heart of the play which is represented by angie + a
#perpetuation of the constant dismissal and abuse angie receives in the play simply by nature of not being the correct kind of feminine
#this just in: traumatized girls with adhd who are incredibly bright but universally trampled on don’t exist. they must instead have severe
#learning/speech/etc impediments. you are either a Good Girl or you are Disabled and will be treated accordingly.
#and it’s so offensive and ableist from the disability perspective too like angie would not be good disability rep at all
#bc she was NEVER INTENDED TO BE
#any production that interprets her that way is literally doing the exact same thing the play is criticizing its characters for
#so disgusting how so many performances see angie and go well we need to justify her mistreatment somehow. let’s be ableist about it
#and in doing so completely rid her character (which is genuinely the heart and soul of the show) any nuance & turn this play about the
#debilitating and unwarranted cruelty/dismissal towards girls who aren’t properly feminine or ‘correct’ (and how doing that is a self-
#fulfilling prophecy that takes girls with so much potential and ruins them until they have nothing left) into a bafflingly one-note play ab
#how people with disabilities cannot and should not succeed in the business world and why that’s justified bc yeah they just can’t hack it
#i am blowing 99% of angie actors up with my brain
#i am the universal angie. no other portrayal of angie will remain but mine. no one else deserves her
