DUST

Edinburgh 2026

England. Lock down. 2:20AM. A man fights to make it home. In his morphine-fuelled delirium, we relive his past: a boxer, a soldier and a miner. Is it fate, or will, that decides when we return to dust? DUST is dedicated to the servicemen who fought for their country, the seven men who tragically died in the Lofthouse Colliery disaster of 1973, and every miner who lived their lives in darkness so we could live in the light. Based on a true story and infused with Northern grit, humour and soul. Adelaide Fringe Award Winning Show.
