Joanna Tope is an actress. She has appeared in many TV programmes over the years including Emmerdale Farm as Dr Clare Scott in 1973, The Omega Factor as Julia Crane in 1979 and The Tomorrow People as Mrs Boswell.

After taking an Honours Degree in Drama at Manchester University, Joanna was fortunate to spend the next 10 years working in the provinces and London in both theatre and television, in a variety of parts, allowing her to explore and stretch her versatlity. Favourite roles include Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler", Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls" and the Old Woman in Edward Bond's "Bingo".

At the very beginning of her career she was an A. S. M. and played small parts (no such thing!) at Pitlochry and she is very happy to have married a Glaswegian and to have returned to live in Scotland.

She has appeared at the Citizens Theatre as Jocasta in "Oedipus The King" and as Helen in "A Taste of Honey" and Mrs. Eynsford Hill in "Pygmalion". In 1997, she appeared at the Edinburgh Festival as Dorimene in a Scottish Opera/Nottingham Playhouse production of Strauss' "Ariadne Auf Naxos" and has made numerous concert and cabaret appearances. She was Assistant Director on "The Rising Generation" at Theatre Royal, Lincoln.

She has three children, Tom, John and Maggie.
