Four Fated Romances Entangled Through Time – A Fleeting Dream Across a Century
Dust to Dust tells the story of two couples entangled in love and hate, traveling from modern times back to the Anti-Japanese War period, and even as far back as the Qing Dynasty. These four relationships from different eras, seemingly unrelated, are intricately connected.
This play is a tribute by playwright Yu Rongjun to British Nobel laureate Harold Pinter, exploring the eternal themes of human nature and life.
