Bog Witch

It may contain a brief moment of actual tree-hugging but this bracing solo show by Bryony Kimmings finds fresh and compelling perspectives on the horribly familiar plight of our planet. Season through season, she recounts a year of upheaval after moving to a regenerative permaculture homestead with her son, her partner and his daughter. It’s a thrill to see Kimmings back, in a climate reckoning of both cosmic and quotidian proportions – and a theatrical time capsule of the way we live now. Chris Wiegand Read the review. Traverse, 8-30 August
