Dust, Written, directed & produced by Charlaina Thompson is a masterpiece in storytelling. Performed by Craig McArdle, he delivers a powerful punch of a performance that is as nuanced & deeply layered as Thompsons text. The play is based on a true story of his grandfather & you feel the deep connection in every gesture on-stage. This epic monologue has you on the edge of your seat. It's an incredible piece of theatre & absolutely brilliant in creation and delivery. Go see it!

Great show. Well worth a visit

DUST is utterly outstanding. An incredibly well-researched reflection on a particular time in (UK) history, the themes are universal and resonate still. The writing is like poetry, delivered with determination and heart; a one-man show that is riveting from start to finish. Scouts for the 2026 Adelaide Festival, this play needs to be on the Dunstan Playhouse stage.

A tour de force. Brilliant performance coupled with brilliant writing. If you want to see a proper show come and see Dust - If you can get tickets.

Absolutely amazing. Captured from the offset. A play full of emotions - I cried at the end! Wow!! Go and see!

Saw this last night and wow! Get tix while you still can!!

So happy to have come across this show! Very clever writing that kept us captivated the whole way through. Equally witty and thought provoking following the lifeline of such a worn down but colourful character. Acting was top tier. Very clever prop use and interactions with the crowd! Would see again!

Absolutely captivating from start to finish. Really clever writing, gut wrenching delivery, quick as a whip and will draw you in for its entirety.
