The Livingston Players returned to the stage to once again bring their version of hit play The Steamie to life.
The group first produced Tony Roper’s play about the colourful characters of a public wash house in 1950s Glasgow to audiences 10 years ago and this most recent production at Howden Park was bigger and better.
The actors took to the stage as steam swirled around the audience –the set even boasted running taps
– with audience members saying that it brought back memories of their mothers and grannies.
Louise Fairnie wowed as plain speaking Magrit, while Mrs Culfeathers (Kate Halliday) gave an excellent portrayal of a character who used hard work to hide her loneliness. Dolly, played by Gill Sullivan, provided some great
laughs and the youngest member of the group, Doreen, was brought to life by Charmain Leitch.
Meanwhile, while as Andy the handyman, Ewan Hepburn gave a fine performance, especially later in the play after he had a few “wee drams”.
Watch this space – the Livingston Players will be back in April with a brand new production.
