Synopsis:
What won't Anya do to get away from her dirty, dirty land? there is a burnt patch of grass in the middle of town that won't grow back. Half the town is hiding a secret. the other half is missing. a dark, adult fairytale. a haunting and subversive examination of the will to survive. Welcome to Dirtyland. Sharp, atmospheric and rebelliously comic, Dirtyland is a world with heart, plenty of guts and a fair bit of rock and roll.
