Bronwyn Isaac

Why Are You Here

  • Netherlands

Imagine if Emily in Paris was gay, had no fashion coats and almost got deported from Amsterdam.

Okay, so a completely different woman. But this got your attention, right?

The only things Emily in Paris and Bronwyn have in common? Phil Collins won't return their calls and they both followed the new American dream – getting the hell out of the US.

Why Are You Here is a show that catches flights and feelings. It's about former election reporter Bronwyn Isaac moving from NYC to Amsterdam with her girlfriend, and being faced with the question: "Why are you here?"

It's about dating a partner who gender transitions, working in digital media in a time of censorship, having a horrible billionaire boss named Bryan, and the absurd and mind-melting experience of being online in the current political climate.

This show has made waves in Amsterdam, NYC, Seattle and Berlin, and is now surfing the waves of Port Philip Bay.

Suitable for audiences 15+

Language – occasional coarse language

Political, religious or racial themes
