Topless in Philadelphia

I have written a new play Topless in Philadelphia. It will be published by Matador Books.

Welcome to Philadelphia, the city that gave us the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bell, Grace Kelly and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich.

Gus Clover is your tour guide on an open-top London sightseeing bus driving through the streets of the City of Brotherly Love. He’s keen to show you the city he loves from Betsy Ross’s house to the ‘Rocky Steps’ but the sights keep triggering off memories from his past.

Hear how his personal hero Benjamin Franklin inspired Gus to become an inventor. Laugh as he reminisces at how he met and married his librarian wife Lynda. Discover how it all went wrong when he brought Popeye the puppy into the family home just as Lynda was about to give birth.

This is the Philadelphia story that has nothing to do with the Main Line!

Available for performance from January 2009.
