Badapple Theatre Named New Associate Company at York Theatre Royal with Upcoming Production of Crumbs
York Theatre Royal has announced a partnership with Badapple Theatre Company, welcoming the regional group as its new Associate Company for the 2026/27 season. Known for touring original productions to diverse communities, the company will receive a full year of practical resources, workspace, and mentorship to support its creative projects.
What to Expect from the New Associate Partnership
The collaboration gives Badapple Theatre dedicated support to develop new performance work and share its touring expertise. The partnership kicks off with a theatrical production staged directly in the venue's studio space.
Marking the start of their tenure, Badapple Theatre will bring Crumbs to the venue. Written by Kate Bramley, the one-woman comedy follows a former television baking star attempting to navigate the high-stakes world of online content creation.
Experiencing Crumbs at the Studio
The production stars Ellen Carnazzan as the central character, Petronella Parfait, alongside multiple supporting roles performed live on stage. Audiences attending the run can look forward to a fast-paced narrative combined with baking elements performed in real time during the show.
The production runs from May 20 to May 23. Visitors interested in attending can review schedule details and secure entry through the official booking page.
