Piecing together the story, through recordings made by unknowns on phones etc.

DO NOT BE ALARMED    "The Dust" is a fictional account, created by First Year students on the Applied Theatre course at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.  Any similarity with people living or dead is entirely coincidental.  This site contains the elements of a story created through a devising process started in February 2020.  What would have been a theatre performance has been converted as a result of the Covid19 Crisis into an online account.  You can access the story and the drama through exploration of this site, which contains wide range of recorded content developed during the period of lockdown.  There are student devised and performed elements on many pages of the site, in particular the story on the 'memory stick' and the individual monologues on the page 'portraits of unknowns'.  Please feel free to explore the site thoroughly and leave feedback, including your own thoughts about exactly what might have happened in Ward 4A.
