I'm a Phoenix, Bitch - T1952315847Ever sunk so deep you felt like you might never make it up for air? In 2016, Bryony nearly drowned. Postnatal breakdowns, an imploding relationship and an extremely sick child left her sitting beneath the waves hoping she could slowly turn to shell. Four years later and she is able to deal with life again, but wears the scars of that year like a dark and heavy cloak. Who do we become after trauma? How do we turn pain into power? How do we fly instead of drown? | |

That Catherine Bennett Show - T01978472402A nine-year-old girl and her aunty present a new type of pop star on a quest to change the world. Last summer, sick of the pocket money-stealing, overly sexy and ridiculously similar role models on offer in pop music, the two decided to take on the global Tween machine at its own game. They invented Catherine Bennett, a new breed of pop star, managed by Taylor and played by Bry, and promised each other they would make her world famous to prove that an alternative was wanted and possible... famous for being different. CB works in a museum with dinosaurs, she loves tuna pasta, her dog Cookie and riding her bike around London. She sings songs about things other than love, fame and money... things like friendship, the future and having the power to make a difference. Join Taylor and Bryony as they take you on the weird and wonderful rollercoaster journey of their creation. Expect a wholly empowering tale for young people, with singing, dancing and stories of getting invited to the Houses of Parliament and CB's music played Radio 1! You can do anything if you put your mind to it! For ages 6-9 | |

Sex Idiot - T0660601427A funny and unapologetic account of female sexuality in the 21st century. Following her first STI test, Bryony discovered she had a common sexual disease. Not one for looking back, she was faced with the arduous task of retracing her sexual footsteps to see where she'd contracted her little problem. Join Bryony on a whirlwind tour of her sexual misadventures and self-realisations, told through vignettes of performance, dance and song lovingly gaffer taped to some rough chat. Nestled somewhere between homemade pop song, ornithological nature trail and an ode to love lost, Sex Idiot is a glittering, unabashed cabaret of confession with a wonky DIY feel. A show for anyone whose had a one-night stand and genuinely enjoyed it, broken hearts in search of true love and ultimately realised no (wo)man is an island. | |
