About the show
Bog Body is a solo experimental theatre show by Itchy Feet Theatre, performed at The Vault as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Running for 40 minutes and suitable for ages 14 and over, it is an experimental dark comedy about love, death, decay and desire from a women-led company. When the grieving Petra begins to trawl through the lonely marshes of Lindow Moss, she finds far more than she bargained for — she finds him: the man of her dreams, who died 2,000 years ago. Tickets are £12.50, with a concession price of £10. The show includes discussions of death, murder, suicide and human sacrifice.
Why see this show?
A dark comedy about love and desire that begins in grief and ends somewhere far stranger. At 40 minutes it is compact and intense, with Itchy Feet Theatre exploring what it means to find the man of your dreams 2,000 years too late. Inventive and unusual.
