About
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.
Suitable for all the family.
