Kay Adshead, Krissi Bohn

The Bogus Woman is one of the most talked about productions in Theatre by the Lake’s history. The critically acclaimed show returns for another powerful run, with the original creative team and performer Krissi Bohn bringing this heart-wrenching and poetic story to life.

An African woman arrives in a strange country fleeing for her life, seeking safety and asylum. Despite committing no crime she is indefinitely confined, interrogated, humiliated and abused. She witnesses the cruelty of the authorities and their casual disregard for an individual’s human rights. This strange country is England.

With the asylum debate still raging, this play is just as relevant and challenging today as it was seven years ago.
