Plot Synopsis:
Wrestling with the reality that everyone he's ever known was just killed in a shooting at his school, Boy spends his last minutes spinning a story that looks not unlike J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. An ensemble of young women, these mermaids, compete to be heard as their story unfolds. They are the swim team – powerful and sometimes monstrous. And then there’s Wendy. His Wendy. Boy is convinced that she’s the only person who understands him. Until she doesn’t. Part dance, part theater, Dust plays like a music score that’s been infiltrated by poetry, giving voice to the unspeakable.
First workshopped in 2012, Dust was the recipient of the Cyget Theatre's Finish Line Commission in 2018 and a semi-finalist for the National Playwrights' Conference Eugene O'Neill Theater Center 2017.
