England. 2020. Pinderfields Hospital. Lockdown. 2.20am.
A man fights for each breath, determined to make it home to Dot. In his isolated, morphine-fuelled delirium, we witness a frail man reliving his fragmented past: a boxer, a soldier, a boilermaker, a miner – dancing with Lady Luck as he battles to win. But is it fate, or sheer will to survive, that determines when we return to dust?
DUST is one man’s unforgettable journey, examining generational trauma, resilience and survival against the backdrop of post-World War II England. DUST is dedicated to the servicemen who fought for their country, the seven men who tragically lost their lives in the 1973 Lofthouse Colliery disaster, and to every miner who lived their lives in darkness, so we could live in the light.
Winner of Adelaide Festival’s 2025 inSPACE Fringe Award for best original premiere, this one-man performance is based on a true story and infused with Northern British humour, heart and grit.
