Bogwitch
Thu 9 – Sat 25 Oct 25 

Created to celebrate the opening of Soho Theatre Walthamstow, this is Bryony Kimmings’ first solo show for nearly half a decade. Bog Witch is about how we have forgotten what it feels like to nuzzle into the bosom of mother nature… and what amazing things will happen if we remember.

Bryony Kimmings was wrangled enough. Single mum, sick kid, slammed with work, terrible anxiety barely keeping it together. She didn’t have time to think about the planet, thanks. But then she fell in love with an eco-warrior… who really wanted to talk about the future of civilisation… a lot. Just what Kimmings needed, some extra guilt and existential dread to pile on life’s compost heap.

Bog Witch is Kimmings’ first show for nearly half a decade and it’s a solo. It’s the story of her being dragged kicking and screaming into the countryside; decamping her entire life onto a regenerative acre and finding herself plugged directly back into the yucky ecosystem. From slick city bitch to big boggy witch.

Bog Witch is about what happens when you turn and face things instead of hiding from them. Something that at 44, Bryony only just learnt was good to do.  Expect panic, joy and crying (and that’s just from her!)

This show is about that weird longing that magically stops when you hold a stone a kid gives you… or you stare into a fire. A show about filling that hole (not in that way, you pervert) but the one in your soul that aches no matter how well you are doing at work, what you buy, how heavy you lift or how many shags you get.

The hole that feels… not to be woo-woo, but… ANCIENT.
