The Steamie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Steamie is a comedy-drama stage play, written by Rab C. Nesbitt actor Tony Roper. It followed the lives of a group of 1950s Glasgow women washing their clothes in a public washhouse (steamie). It was first performed at the Crawford Theatre, Glasgow in 1987.
A television version was made by SMG Productions (Scottish Television) for Hogmanay 1988. It gained immediate popularity and is usually repeated every Hogmanay on Five. It starred Dorothy Paul, Eileen McCallum Katy Murphy, Sheila Donald and Peter Mullan. Future EastEnders cast member Caroline Paterson made a cameo appearance. Haldane Duncan co-produced and directed it.
A novelisation, also by Roper, was published in 2005.
