A nationally-rated rural theatre company founded by Harrogate’s Kate Bramley is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week.

The last quarter of a century has seen Badapple Theatre Company become one of the UK's most vibrant and prolific touring companies.

Launched in 1998 by Artistic Director Kate Bramley, an established comedy writer from Harrogate, Badapple brings a full theatre experience into lesser-known community spaces.

A ‘can do’ set-up, the small but hugely talented company travels with its own stage, full set, lights, sound and experienced performers – all in order to create a magical experience on people’s doorsteps across the villages of North Yorkshire and rural Britain.

Harrogate roots - Acclaimed Badapple Theatre Company's current cast of its touring comedy Eddie and The Gold Tops.

Earlier this week, Badapple Theatre Company put on a homecoming show at Green Hammerton Village Hall with a special performance of its touring comedy Eddie and The Gold Tops.

As usual, the music was delivered by key member SONY Award-winner Jez Lowe.
