| Description | Steptoe and Son was a 2012 theatrical collaboration between Kneehigh Theatre and The West Yorkshire Playhouse that was an adaption of the classic British sitcom by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson about a father and son rag and bone business.
The plot was loosely based on four episodes from the series, namely 'The Offer', 'The Bird', 'The Holiday' and 'Two's Company'. Rice created an entirely new female character for the production in order to explore the impact of femininity in Albert and Harold's lives.
