About Bog Witch by Bryony Kimmings

'Haunting and hilarious… a climate reckoning of both cosmic and quotidian proportions – and a theatrical time capsule of the way we live now'

The Guardian

Following a hugely critically-acclaimed London run, legendary performance artist Bryony Kimmings (I’m a Phoenix, Bitch; Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model; Fake It Till You Make It) brings her hit show Bog Witch to Worthing for one night only.

As with all her previous works, 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.

'A journey as unexpected and essential as it’s hilarious and heartfelt. Mixing songs, stand-up comedy, performance art… Memorable, disturbing and wildly entertaining.'
