THEATRE ON YOUR DOORSTEP
ELEPHANT ROCK Now booking for April-June 2022!
World premiere tour of a new comedy by Kate Bramley with songs and music by Jez Lowe.
From the great age of the steamers and through the heyday of the British seaside resorts the old Palace dance hall stood proudly on the pier front attended by the greatest of all attractions, The Mechanical Elephant. But the relentless tides have chipped away at the coast and the mighty Elephant Rock that gave the headland its name seemingly walked off overnight.
Come and join us for a night of comic capers from a family who are trying to keep the Palace doors on, and open, as they delve into a complicated family history of music hall owners spanning 100 years and 5000 miles to the elephant-filled grasslands of Sri Lanka.
Supported by Arts Council England.

EDDIE &THE GOLD TOPS
Badapple's 25 year Anniversary- Now booking for April-July 2023
This hilarious comedy, set against the backdrop and dynamic music of the 'Swinging 60's', was written by our Artistic Director Kate Bramley (formerly of Sir John Godber's Hull Truck Theatre) with original songs and music by Jez Lowe (SONY Radio Academy Award Winner/ BBC Radio 2 Radio Ballads).
This tale follows our Eddie, a much-loved milkman- from a family of great Italian milkmen- who finds himself becoming a chart-topping Beat group star, quite by accident. Having inherited the family milk round from his father, Eddie has fulfilled his deathbed promise to never miss a delivery for the good people of the village of Bottledale. But suddenly things are on the up! His songs are heading up the charts and if he can get there by tonight he’ll be on the brand-new Top of The Pops!
So, get ready, Eddie, go! You’re heading for the high life, with the fabulous Gold Tops behind you every step of the way!
But when things take a churn for the worse, will he get back for the morning milk?
