To celebrate the launch of ATL ON DEMAND (https://stream.australiantheatre.live/) ATL are
inviting you to a FREE online screening of Queensland Theatre’s RETURN TO THE DIRT.
In a year spent tending to the dead, a young man learns to live. Steve never imagined he’d end up working in the funeral industry. But when he finds
himself living back home in Toowoomba to save up for his wedding, it’s the only job he can get.
The year he spends working among the dead opens his eyes to what awaits us at the end and what it means to live.
With respect, wit and a nod to pop culture, Steve takes us on a journey that celebrates finding your place in the world, the power of personal redemption and humility in the face of the big questions.
RETURN TO THE DIRT is a refreshing, honest and surprisingly uplifting invitation to start the
conversations we all try to avoid.
