Anna Harriott & Iona Johnson: Stories In The Dust

About

Two travelers journey across the barren and dusty world that is their home. They make up songs and tell stories, inspired by the treasures they've collected from a time gone by. One day they happen upon something extra special, a lucky find that promises to breathe life back into the empty land that surrounds them – is it a chance for change or will their hopes be dashed once again?

With live music, puppetry and clowning, Stories In The Dust is a funny, heartfelt, post apocalyptic family show that takes you to another world. One where an ancient book guides your way, a drop of rain changes everything in an instant and a mighty lion holds his 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 is a new devised show for ages 5+ By Anna Harriott and Iona Johnson. With support from Arts Council England, MAST Mayflower Studios, Wiltshire Creative and Pound Arts.
