Move To UK
In the UK, Badham's work was discovered by the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, in 2001 who staged a collaborative production of Kitchen with company Nabokov in 2001. A play about marriage as a metaphor for capitalism, it then toured to the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it became an instant hit.
Commissions from the Royal Court Theatre and the BBC World Service followed, as did transfers of Kitchen to London and New York plus six subsequent Edinburgh productions between 2003 and 2006: Camarilla and Bedtime for Bastards (2003), Nikolina and the subversive children's musical Waitin' 4 Da G (2004 - with music by Jonny Berliner), Petrograd (2005) and Persae (2006).
Camarilla was a critical sensation at the 2003 festival and led to the cementing of Badham's sudden international reputation as a leading proponent of radical political theatre. Badham has since won numerous international awards and her work is performed around the world.

—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“So close is the bond between man and woman that you can not raise one without lifting the other. The world can not move ahead without woman’s sharing in the movement, and to help give a right impetus to that movement is woman’s highest privilege.”
