STEAMED: a Dickensian Improvised Tale

Date: Sunday, May 12 2019 - Monday, May 13 2019
Venue: Brunel’s ss Great Britain

The creators of Closer Each Day: The Improvised Soap Opera present something distinctly Victorian onboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain.

Hilarious comedy, astonishing drama, endearing orphans, steam ships, steam trains, steamed puddings and perhaps the odd catchy music hall number! Join Closer Each Day Company aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain for something Dickensian and entirely improvised, created on the spot from YOUR suggestions!

Closer Each Day Company, creators of Bristol’s cult comedy, Closer Each Day: The Improvised Soap Opera, bring their dynamic and addictive brand of theatre to this new show, co-produced with The Wardrobe Theatre.

Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

David Lloyd, BBC Screenwriter
