Bog Body: A One-Woman Show (The Bread and Roses Theatre)

20 Oct 2025

Bog Body: A One-Woman Show

This terrifying one-woman show is not for the faint of heart. Award-winning actress and playwright Olivia Cordell debuts her first one-woman show after a successful workshop at the Cockpit Theatre. BOG BODY is a tour de force performance that will leave audiences scared, thrilled, and ultimately, moved. Join forensic anthropologist Dr. Alyssa Kim for a thrilling lecture on a supposedly cursed “bog body”: 2000-year-old human remains found in a peat bog. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll scream as she faces off against an ancient monster and her own deepest fears.
