It’s 1950s Glasgow and the last laundry before the bells. Hopes and memories burst into life as four pals laugh, sing and gossip their way through the last working day of the year.
From Magrit, Dolly and Doreen’s musings on men’s obsession with football, to Mrs Culfeathers’ hilariously long-winded blethering about Galloway’s mince, Tony Roper’s theatre classic The Steamie has been delighting audiences for decades and returns to celebrate its 35th anniversary this year! With community, friendship and family at its heart, this sensational new production directed by Becky Hope-Palmer promises a night of unashamed nostalgia and hilarious comedy from one of Scotland’s most popular plays.

​

“Becky Hope-Palmer's new production of The Steamie for Dundee Rep is packed with laughter, invention, hilarity and truth…so much to love that the feeling in the theatre can sometimes become overwhelming, especially given a production as surefooted and brilliant as this staging at Dundee Rep.

 
Becky Hope-Palmer has chosen something of a Dundee dream team, every one of them belting out the dialogue with precision and feeling, and delivering the songs with exactly the kind of down-to-earth energy and lyricism they demand.”
