Christmas with Steptoe and Son
by Hambledon Productionstheatre, comedy
The nation's favourite episodes of the classic BBC sitcom freshly adapted for the stage.
about the production
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to 26 Oil Drum Lane with the nation’s favourite rag-and-bone-men! Albert and Harold – united by blood, divided over everything else – seem doomed to spend Christmas in each other’s company. But Harold has his flights of fancy… including a flight he fancies abroad or to throw the biggest Christmas party London’s ever had to offer! His “dzirty old man” Albert, of course, has other ideas… Who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas as Mrs. Clifford’s B&B in Bognor Regis anyway?? These much-loved original episodes have been newly adapted for this anticipated tour.

We can provide our own PA system but would need the use of some minimal stage lighting.
Theatre would need to provide a full Front of House team and box office service.
The show has particular appeal to those who remember the perennial BBC sitcom (1962-1974), fans of classic British comedy and comedy-dramas such as the work of Pinter, Ayckbourn and Coward.
“Authentic Galton and Simpson… As funny as it ever was. A rattling good evening and I encourage you to see it”
I can’t recommend it enough
Both of the leads were excellent. An obvious respect, love and affection is shown to the originals. Just go!
