For something a little different, step into the world of Stories in the Dust — a funny, heartfelt, and hopeful family show with live music, puppetry, and clowning. Created by Anna Harriott and Iona Johnson, this post-apocalyptic adventure offers a fresh and original tale of resilience, hope, and discovery.

The sun beats down on two quirky travellers as they journey across a dusty world in their handmade contraption. With only an ancient book as their guide, they collect treasures from a forgotten time and tell stories inspired by the items they’ve gathered. Along the way, audiences will encounter a mighty lion, a drop of rain that changes everything, and the secrets hidden in an old clay pot.

Full of inventive storytelling, live music, and visual creativity, Stories in the Dust is a powerful eco-fable that will captivate children and adults alike. It’s ideal for ages 5-12 but perfectly suited to all members of the family. As part of NAC’s “Pay As You Can” theatre season, it’s also an affordable way for families to experience the magic of live performance.
