'I am remembering something and becoming something all at once.' In a last-ditch attempt to be happy and sane, Bryony uproots her life to go and live with her young son in a tumbledown cottage in the wilderness. Bryony Kimmings's play 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. Have we been disconnected from our ecosystems for too long? This is the story not of dropping out... but of plugging back in, and one that changes absolutely everything. A spellbinding play by an acclaimed artist renowned for her tearjerking and hilarious autobiographical theatre creations, Bog Witch was premiered at Soho Theatre Walthamstow in 2025, co-produced by Avalon and Tellus Studio, and co-directed by Kimmings and Francesca Murray-Fuentes. 'Kimmings is an artist of exceptional integrity, compassion, imagination and guts' Guardian
