Qui Nguyen.

Written by Donna Jackson, Dust features a choir of 50 who come together in concert with Mark Seymour from the iconic Australian band Hunters and Collectors.

This fast-paced multimedia theatre production takes you on an almighty journey — between the headlines, the corporate line and the legal circus — to the real story of asbestos in Australia.

Enter a typical Australian home from the not-too distant past. The myriad of products that exposed families to asbestos — toothpaste, play dough, hair dryers, cigarette filters — will remind you how close this issue is to our everyday lives.

This joyous and inspirational show celebrates the determination and fighting spirit of those who battled James Hardie Industries and won compensation. Even after this successful campaign, we’re reminded that there are currently hundreds of people in Australia facing asbestos related illnesses.
