Two travellers journey across the barren and dusty world. They make up songs and tell stories, inspired by treasures from a time gone by.
With live music, puppetry and clowning Stories In The Dust is a funny, heartfelt and hopeful post apocalyptic family show that takes you to another world. A world where an ancient book guides your way, a drop of rain changes everything and a mighty lion holds its secrets in an old clay pot.
Join two intrepid explorers who are full of stories and full of hope (but dangerously low on baked beans).
Stories in the Dust was originally created with support from MAST Mayflower Studios and shared at their Emergency Festival. It was developed thanks to public funding from National Lottery through Arts Council England in partnership with Pound Arts.
