<p>'Haunting and hilarious... a compelling mix of standup, songs and folk horror... finds fresh and compelling perspectives on the horribly familiar plight of our planet... a perfect blend of comedy and gut-churning terror'</p>
Guardian
<p>'A horrified odyssey into the bucolic... mines the interface where standup, theatrical life-writing and performance art meet... admirable and dryly humorous'</p>
London Standard
<p>'Quintessential Kimmings: funny songs, fun costumes and unfiltered, matey honesty... beautifully wrought... a joy'</p>
Time Out
<p>'Funny and irreverent... Kimmings is a wry, irresistible storyteller... a madcap reminder that no one else makes autobiographical theatre like this'</p>
The Stage
<p>'Utterly enjoyable... instantly hilarious and unwaveringly entertaining... the writing is spotless. Funny and wistful at once, [Kimmings] takes the audience on a proper journey... just enough rudeness to keep it spicy and giggly... moments of raw tenderness... surprising, inspiring and inventively original'</p>
Broadway World
<p>'A journey as unexpected and essential as it's hilarious and heartfelt... a delight, albeit one that comes with jagged edges, a sting in the tail, and bracing theatrical invention... Kimmings is an authentic original... Memorable, disturbing and wildly entertaining'</p>
WhatsOnStage

Theatre & Tonic

Reviews Hub
<p>'A hilarious fish-out-of-water story about an unnatural return to nature... woven with folk magic... sensational, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny'</p>

'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.
