| She really deserved those raves. The play was an odd and not very interesting one - a British import on a subject of little interest to Americans: the disappearance of public bath houses for women (which dated from a time when the poor had no indoor plumbing). But it was very well directed and had an entirely first-rate cast: Pauline Flanagan, Polly Rowles, Lisa Persky, Linda Thorson, Margaret Whitton. And Ivey - brash, funny, fierce and completely real. A towering performance. |

| "Steaming" was authentic and engaging in London, if admittedly slim. | |

| I remember it well in the West End. A relative unknown at the time named Brenda Blethwyn was extraordinary. I do think it's a rare play (then) by a female playwright, and whatever the liabilities, Dunn's voice -- and POV about class, privilege and gender -- is in the storytelling. | |

| Blethyn played Ivey's part? Who else was in it? I couldn't find it online. |

| No, she was the mentally challenged character (she was very young). | |
