Dust is an illustrative and graphic portrayal of a suicide fuelled by depression, drugs, lust and sex. A complex narrative which moves between ghost and living bodies, existing somewhere between the living and the dead. Playwright, performer and self-confessed ‘chronic oversharer’ Milly Thomas, engages us in her dark yet empathetic story.
Writer Milly Thomas showcases a multitude of themes from love, gender and domestic abuse in her latest show Brutal Cessation. Brutal Cessation will take residence at Assembly George Square at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Ahead of the month long run, Milly talks to Theatrefullstop about the show.
In 2015, refugees and migrants fled from various parts of the world including Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq to seek asylum in the EU. Titled ‘The Migrant Crisis’, this sad state of affairs dominated the headlines and continues to do so as 1000s of innocents lost their lives in the hopes of escaping hardship and began to open a younger generation’s eyes in the West as to the various atrocities taking place world wide. Brought to light in Tess Berry-Hart‘s Cargo, migration begins to unravel its complex nature.
