The UK premiere of Michinari Ozawa’s award-winning play Our Cosmic Dust in London.

Our Cosmic Dust is a spellbinding tale exploring how we find guidance in others and solace in the cosmos – all seen through the wide-eyed perspective of a child.

Created by award-winning Tokyo writer and director Michinari Ozawa, Our Cosmic Dust features a stellar cast including Hiroki Berrecloth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) as Shotoro, with Ian Hallard (The Way Old Friends Do) as Orion, Nina Bowers (Girl on an Altar) as Tara, Hari Mackinnon (The Father and The Assassin) as Alastair, and Millie Hikasa (The Ocean at the End of the Lane) as Usami.

Meet Shotaro, a curious school boy who sets out on an adventure to find his late father among the stars. Behind him follows his mother, sick with worry and determined to bring him home. Along their journeys, they encounter a kaleidoscope of characters each with their own stories of love, loss, and the absurdities of life. Amid the poignancy, moments of humour and wonder remind us that even in grief, there’s room for laughter and joy.

Our Cosmic Dust is playing at the Park Theatre from 2 June to 5 July 2025.
