About

Bryony Kimmings returns to the stage with her first solo show in half a decade.

An autobiographical journey of plugging back into nature in a last-ditch attempt to be happy and sane.

As with all her previous shows (I’m a Phoenix, Bitch, Fake It ‘Til You Make It),Bog Witch follows a part of Kimmings’ real life story, this time the journey of uprooting her and her son’s life to live in a tumbledown cottage in the wilderness to plug back into nature as a last-ditch attempt to be happy and sane.
