- Synopsis:
Tony Roper wrote The Steamie for Glasgow's Mayfest in 1987 and since then the play has always been in production somewhere in Britain. This is your chance to own the original version of the smash-hit of the year which played to packed audiences in the theatre and was watched by millions when it was produced for television. Return to Hogmanay 1957 when a feisty bunch of Glasgow women, Mrs Culfeathers, Dolly, Doreen and the irrepressible Magrit, all meet at The Steamie to do the traditional family wash before the New Year. Laugh again at Mrs Culfeather's wonderful Galloway's mince, enjoy the fantasy phone call between Magrit and Dolly and wonder at the welly-booted tango when Dolly bends over backwards to grab a rose in her teeth! The Steamie is a hilarious cameo of Glasgow's social history where the washing was always easier to do when the women shared their laughter and sorrow and a scandalous supply of gossip! This is the definitive version of the most popular play of the last 20 years with the all star cast of Dorothy Paul as Magrit, Eileen McCallum as Dolly, Katy Murphy as Doreen, Sheila Donald as Mrs Culfeathers and a very young Peter Mullan as Andy, the whisky-loving handy man. - Actors:
