I am a Phoenix, Bitch takes you from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows as you are pulled into a time during Bryony’s life when the best and worst things to happen in life are transpiring simultaneously.
Bryony’s way of emotively engaging the audience as she takes them step-by-step through a carefully crafted, unique and quirky way of storytelling is the most real and raw depiction of the human mind seen on stage.
Her comedic flavour brings out laughter in the most unexpected moments and her attention to detail is what brings the story to life.
There was laughter, there were tears, there were WTF OMG moments… you could not help but cheer loudly in the moment when you saw the Phoenix rise.
Her story left a feeling of triumph, like you had just sprinted the track of life in the Olympics, but the memory of the pain endured through training was still there.
People who have been on a similar journey of darkness could relate, those who are parents could feel the heartbreak, those who have loved passionately and lost knew the pain.
This show is a must-see, Bryony was superb in her delivery, in 90 minutes you felt as though you knew her.
She is a stellar performer and epic storyteller.
