★★★★★ - Hilarious & heartfelt
Stage Door Entertainment brings Tony Roper’s classic play The Steamie to the Fringe with heart, humour, and honesty.
On Hogmanay in 1950 four women meet at their local steamie (or wash-house) in Glasgow to do the year’s last laundry, chat, sing songs, and reflect on their lives as working-class women. From the youngest, Doreen, at twenty, to the eldest, Mrs. Culfeathers, who laments not having met her great-grand weans, the women are bound by their common task and the labours they perform for their husbands and families.
