A quietly powerful regional story with something like an operatic pulse, told in plain but poetic language. It's a piece of theatre that balances hope, humour and real humanity while refusing to sugarcoat the hard stuff.

Dot is dying of mesothelioma, an incurable cancer caused by blue asbestos, and Pearl keeps vigil as the play shifts between the present room and the past life in . Once a Pilbara mining town that promised a new future, 's sunlit days and tight-knit community slowly give way to the grim truth that the place was built on a lie. The Dogs of the Apocalypse hover as a strange, ominous presence, and the story quietly exposes a dark chapter of our nation's history and the terrible human cost of corporate greed.
