Tom Bailey is a Bristol-based theatremaker and artist, and creative director of Herald Angel award-winning company MECHANIMAL, whose work — described by New Scientist as "extraordinary… moving and enlightening" — has toured to over 15 countries and explores humanity's relationship to a changing planet. We caught up with Tom from a remote shack in northern Norway, where he is currently midway through *Threshold – A Wild New Border Journey*: a 600km ultra-slow expedition by ski, sled, foot and boat across the Arctic borderlands of Norway, Finland and Sweden. Beginning on 10 March 2026 at Barents Spektakel, the two-month journey travels westwards through the Russia–Finland–Norway border region before concluding at Stamsund International Theatre Festival in the Lofoten Islands in May 2026. Along the way, Tom is meeting local communities, artists and researchers to document the lived realities of life in a fast-changing Arctic — with a new performance piece set to premiere in 2027. Threshold builds on a body of work that has consistently used endurance and landscape as artistic material. In 2024 Tom walked 1,000 kilometres solo as a tribute to lost species, research that fed directly into *Wild Thing!* — his most recent Edinburgh Fringe production, in which he attempts to embody 48,000 endangered species. Supported by Arts Council England, Arts Council Norway and the Danish Arts Foundation, his practice remains one of the most distinctive and committed voices in ecological theatre.

Tom Bailey is our guest in episode 586 of My Time Capsule and he chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he’d like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .

Bryony Kimmings is an award-winning writer and performer whose work spans television, film and groundbreaking live performance. Most recently, she adapted The Rapture into a five-part television drama starring Ruth Madeley. She also co-wrote, with Emma Thompson, the screenplay for the film Last Christmas, starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Widely regarded as one of the UK’s most original contemporary performers, Bryony creates multi-platform works that blend autobiography, social experimentation and performance art. Her acclaimed shows include I’m a Phoenix, Bitch, Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model and Fake It Till You Make It, all of which received widespread critical praise and multiple five-star reviews. Her latest production, Bog Witch, follows a critically acclaimed London run and is now touring venues across the UK and Ireland. Inspired by Bryony’s own life, the show explores her decision to uproot herself and her son to live in an isolated cottage in the wilderness in an attempt to reconnect with nature and rediscover happiness and sanity.
