Dust

Written and directed by Ade Morris In association with and produced by Ralph Bernard.

The morning of Margaret Thatcher’s death.  In his Barbican flat Arthur Scargill and his publisher have a visitor from their past – an ageing militant miner with his own take on Scargill’s controversial legacy and a dark forty year family secret.

In a Britain partly shaped by their actions these fierce old fighters slug it out over the dust of history, while in Doncaster, a pregnant young woman stares as recession hit Britain.

A passionate, humorous, tragic snapshot of 2012.

Producer Ralph Bernard is pleased to host a post-show discussion, which will take place in the Theatre Bar.

"A raw, grown up energy...winning roars of applause from audiences who find themselves both moved, and politically challenged."    The Scotsman
