About Bronwen Winter Phoenix

Known as the female John Wick of content, Bronwen Winter Phoenix is determined, prolific, and won’t stop ‘til the job is done… but is still not impervious to being hit by the odd car. She gets by as an Edinburgh-based artist, illustrator, Galaxy Award-nominated author, and ex-journalist.

Review: Night Waking – Traverse Theatre

October 5, 2025 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

I’ve got a confession to make; I’d never heard of Sarah Moss’s novel Night Waking, nor had I really looked into what to expect from this show before accepting an invite, promptly forgetting all about it, and then receiving my ticket.
