Topless is a one-woman stage play I wrote set on an open-top London sightseeing bus. It features Sandie, a tour guide with problems! The original production was actually staged on a real open-top sightseeing bus driving through the streets of London. Click here for BBC clip. It ran for two seasons and was produced by The Big Bus Company. Martin Bailey directed the first season and I took over the following year.
Following the publication of an acting edition, Topless is now regularly performed on stage using videos and slides to illustrate Sandie’s tour of London.
