In her first solo show in over half a decade Bryony Kimmings (I’m a Pheonix, Bitch, A Pacifists Guide to Cancer, Fake It Till You Make It) returns to Soho Walthamstow with a brand new show.

As with all her previous shows 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.

Bog Witch is about being the least likely eco-convert. The last person to let go of their capitalist trappings. It explores what happens when ordering things online, drinking booze and coffee, and stuffing your face with Deliveroo no longer brings happiness. Beneath all the bought stuff and façade; the endless distraction and dopamine, might just lay sad animals. Animals who have been disconnected from our ecosystems for too long. This is the story not of dropping out… but of plugging back in, and one that changed absolutely everything for Kimmings.

Specially commissioned for the launch season of Soho Theatre Walthamstow, Bog Witch is our latest collaboration with Bryony. In the 15 years we have worked together she has created some of the most memorable shows to have played on our stages – from Sex Idiot and Seven Day Drunk to Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model and Fake it ‘til You Make It – and we can’t wait to see what comes next.

Commissioned by Soho Theatre Walthamstow and Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts.
Originated as the monologue Freakosystem for the Charleston Festival 2024
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
