Dust
15 July 2009
to 18 July 2009
Courtyard Theatre
In 1993 June Hancock was diagnosed with mesothelioma, the cancer caused by exposure to asbestos while a child in 1930s Armley. The cancer that had killed her mother. June was not a woman to go quietly. Already ill, she took to trial J W Roberts, whose factory had put asbestos dust into the heart of Armley.
Drawn from trial transcripts, interviews and letters and performed by residents of Armley and West Yorkshire, Dust is the story of that trial. Local members of the community and the story of Armley: the memories and the courage of the people whose fight for justice continues today.
