Steam: Live Performance and Heritage Train Ride

Durham Dramatic Society presents an exciting theatre show called Steam. Steam is a 45-minute comedy-drama about the father-and-son duo, George and Robert Stephenson.

Step back to 1825 and witness the dawn of the railway age in Steam, a 50-minute comedy-drama celebrating the ground-breaking launch of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, the world’s first public steam railway.

At its heart is the fiery and fascinating relationship between engineering icons George and Robert Stephenson, the father-and-son duo who revolutionized transport and clashed like titans along the way. Think Lennon and McCartney, but with more soot and steam.

This is the true story of coal, ambition, invention, and the very first steps of the modern world, brought to life with warmth, wit, and a spark of steam-powered genius.

After the performance the audience will be invited to enjoy a ride on a passenger train pulled by one of our heritage locomotives.

🎭 There are two performances: 12pm and 2pm.
🚂 Train rides will set off at 1pm and 3pm.
☕ The Wagonway Café will be open for the purchase of refreshments.

🎫 £13 includes live show and heritage train ride.
