Steam

STEAM* By Mike Kenny and Bridget Foreman Directed by Damian Cruden and Juliet Forster Following on from the huge success of The York Mystery Plays 2012 and last year’s Blood + Chocolate, comes another large scale, specially commissioned piece of theatre involving a community cast, produced by York Theatre Royal and the National Railway Museum. STEAM will be written by Mike Kenny and Bridget Foreman and will look at the importance of the railways to York and its citizens over the last 200 years. It will take place amongst the collections at the National Railway Museum before leading its audience into a 1000 seat auditorium at the back of the Museum. The aim of the project is to include a cast of 200 members of York’s community working alongside a professional team to create a truly unique theatrical experience. There will also be opportunities for community members to get involved in stage management, costume making, front of house, publicity and many other areas. Those interested in being involved are able to sign-up on York Theatre Royal’s website and Box Office. Tickets for Steam will go on sale from York Theatre Royal’s Box Office on 15th October. *Charge applies #steamyork For more information visit nrm.org.uk/steam
