A new theatrical collaboration about clinical depression, love and “being a man”
Bryony and Tim are a couple. Bryony spends most of her life on tour, trying her best to change the world. Tim spends most of his life at a desk trying his best to sell the world. Six months into their relationship, Bryony finds out that Tim suffers from depression.
This collaboration between Bryony and Tim seeks to blast the taboo of mental health out of the water – with home made music, stupid dancing, on stage arguments, real life stories, tears and truths.
A wickedly heartwarming and funny celebration of the wonders and pitfalls of the human brain, Fake it ‘til you Make it sees Bryony and Tim seek to unpick what it takes to be a ‘real man’ in a society in which 1 in 8 men will have depression and 1 in 5 men will experience anxiety at some stage of their lives.
Bryony Kimmings creates theatre shows, cabaret works, homemade music, sound installations and documentary films. Her work is larger than life, outrageous, visually loud, often dangerous, somewhat unpredictable, feminist but above all fun. Her work follows real life social experiments that she embarks on with genuine genius intrigue and wholehearted, fearless gusto. Bryony’s recent work Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model won an Edinburgh Fringe First in 2013 and had its Australian premiere in Melbourne at the 2014 Festival of Live Art.
