    About this ebook

    Welcome to Sydney! Amy is your tour guide for a sun-soaked, open-top bus tour of this extraordinary city. She loves pointing out the sights from the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Opera House but unfortunately she has other things on her mind, particularly the staff Christmas party that she embarrassed herself at the night before. Learn how Amy found herself in the running for the prestigious ‘Guide of the Year’ award and how she would stop at nothing to prevent her rival Chezza Chapman winning it. Discover why driver ‘Gambling Gordon’ is so confident that Amy is going to walk away with the trophy. Laugh at her dinner date with Trevor Barncock at the top of the Sydney Tower. And exactly what is the mysterious object given to Amy as her bus winds its way through King’s Cross? This is a Sydney story like no other!

    Topless in Sydney is a one-woman monologue stage comedy ideally suited for both amateur and professional productions. It can also be used as an audition piece.

      Topless in Sydney

      Characters:

      Amy Elliot.

      The action of the play takes place on the open-top deck of a Sydney sightseeing bus a few days before Christmas.

      Time: The present.

      Topless in Sydney

      The front end of an open-top Sydney sightseeing bus showing the windscreen, the two front rows of seats and the top of the stairwell. There is a bus bell button on the top of the stairwell rail. NB: The play can be staged in one of two ways; you can either use back-projection photos/videos/film of the Sydney sights or simply let AMY’s words paint the pictures unaided. It is entirely up to your imagination.

      As the lights fade up we see AMY, a girl in her mid-twenties. She’s got a great sun-tan as you might imagine from being a Sydney tour guide on an open-top bus. She wears a brightly coloured T-shirt and skirt and a photo ID card hangs around her neck. Her sunglasses sit on top of her head and she has a couple of festive pieces of tinsel hanging off her.

      She is sitting across one of the seats with her feet up on the adjacent seat. She appears to be in a world of her own, staring into space. After a moment she notices her bus-load of tourists (the audience), and picks up her microphone to address them. She doesn’t get to her feet for a few minutes, the effort is just too much. This is because AMY is suffering the mother of all hangovers.

      AMY:

      G’day. How you all doing? My name’s Amy and I’m your tour guide today. (For a second she looks like she might retch but her professionalism takes over and she continues.) I’m not feeling tops to be honest. Almost chucked a sickie this morning. Last night the company had their Christmas party and it didn’t go too well for me. And that’s an understatement. It was down on the beach
