Description
Ayr Fort Players Presents
THE STEAMIE
A tale of Love, Life, Laughter and Laundry...
It's Hogmanay in a Glasgow Steamie (public wash house) during the 1950s - time to make sure that everything is clean as ye cannae bring in the New Year tae a dirty hoose! As the washing is done, four women sing, laugh and cry their way through the last working day of the year, with a little help from the increasingly not so handy Andy!
Portraying a way of life in the midst of change, 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! Over half a century on, the way we work may have changed, but the play still strikes a chord of recognition with people today.
