Marking 60 years since the very first broadcast, this new production of the classic BBC TV comedy STEPTOE AND SON is at York Grand Opera House for one night only on 18th October
The cast sees the return of Jeremy Smith and John Hewer as Albert Steptoe and son Harold respectively. Both performers starred in the acclaimed productions “Steptoe and Son” (UK Tour, 2017-2018) and “Christmas with Steptoe and Son” (UK Tour, 2019-2021). Jeremy trained at the National Youth Theatre and was also a member of The Young Vic Company and has toured in several productions ranging from farce to Shakespeare. John Hewer works as a writer and director, but is best known for his iconic portrayal of Tommy Cooper in the UK’s No. 1 tribute show “Just Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show” and for his performance as Tony Hancock in “Hancock’s Half Hour – The Lost Episodes”.
STEPTOE AND SON ran for 8 series from 1962-1974 and spawned 2 film spin-offs and is fondly remembered as one of the greatest and most influential programmes. Telling the story of two warring rag-and-bone-men in their Shepherd’s Bush scrapyard home, Albert and Harold became household favourites across generations and still they continue to entertain audiences today. One proclaims he’s a “a poor old man” while the other protests that actually he’s “a dirty old man!” In actual fact, both are telling the truth.
THE STEPTOE AND SON RADIO SHOW is produced by Hambledon Productions and Apollo Theatre Company. It is suitable for 12+.
