ADELAIDE FRINGE 2025

England. 2020. Pinderfields Hospital. Lock Down. 2:20am. 

A man fights with each breath to make it home to Dot. In his isolated and morphine fuelled delirium, we witness a frail man reliving his fragmented past; a boxer, a soldier, a boilermaker, and a miner, dancing around the ring with Lady Luck and he fights to win. But is it fate or our will to survive that decides when we return to dust?

‘Dust’ is one man’s unforgettable journey examining generational trauma, resilience, and survival against the backdrop of a post-World War II England. ‘Dust’ is dedicated to the servicemen who fought for their country, the seven men who tragically died in the Loft house Colliery disaster of 1973, and to every miner who lived their lives in the darkness, so we could live in the light. Based on a True Story and infused with Northern heart, humour and grit.
