Commissioned by Bryony Lavery, a stage adaptation of Behind The Scenes At The Museum was performed at the York Theatre Royal, in York - where Atkinson's story is set - from 26 October to 18 November 2000 under the direction of artistic director Damian Cruden.

Atkinson's story is set in a flat above the pet shop in a street beneath York Minster, where Bunty has a growing family and diminishing dreams. Daughter Ruby tells the story of The Family, from the end of the 19th century when a travelling photographer catches frail, beautiful Alice and her children, to the startling, witty and memorable events of Ruby's own life.

Director: Damian Cruden
