Fresh from an award-winning, sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2017, Dust by Milly Thomas (Clique, BBC3; Clickbait and A First World Problem, Theatre503), directed by Sara Joyce, now transfers to London's Soho Theatre. Dust is a refreshing, caustic and comedic treatment of one woman's depression, suicide and everything that happens afterwards.
'I've been dead for three days.' A woman. A suicide. A choice. A fly on the wall. A funeral. A Bakewell tart. A life. A lie. A truth. An ending. Of sorts. Life, Alice thinks, isn't worth living. So, Alice kills herself. Sort of. Forced to watch the aftermath of her suicide and its ripple effect on her family and friends, Alice quickly learns that death changes people. And that death isn't the change she hoped for
Milly Thomas (Clique, BBC3; Clickbait and A First World Problem, Theatre503) has won a Stage Edinburgh Award for her performance in Dust - a self-penned piece, directed by Sara Joyce.
