Top Silk is a play by David Williamson about two lawyers—a legal-aid solicitor and a prominent barrister—who clash over their careers and the future of their teenage son. It has five male and four female characters. The play premiered on 11 January 1989 at the Seymour Centre in Sydney and was written in English. Although not regarded as Williamson's strongest work, it was commercially successful, earning over $2 million. Critics were mixed, and the reception was stronger in Melbourne than in Sydney.
