Tony Roper wrote 'The Steamie' for Glasgow's Mayfest in 1987. Return to Hogmany 1957 when a fiesty group 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. The Steamie is a hilarious cameo of Glasgow's social history where the washing was always easier to do when the Women shared their laugher 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, Kate Murphy as Doreen, Sheila McDonald as Mrs Culfeathers and a very young Peter Mullan as Andy, the whisky loving handy man.
Basada en la vida real de Saartjie Baartman, una mujer sudafricana que fue exhibida como un animal a principios del siglo XIX en la Academia Real de Medicina de París (1817).

Siete años antes, Saartjie había llegado de Sudáfrica con su padrino Caezar para vender su cuerpo al morboso público londinense que compraba entradas para los zoos humanos. Fue así como Saartjie, la Venus Negra, había conseguido ser una mujer libre y esclava al mismo tiempo.
