Dune! The Musical is a free musical storytelling show by Dan Collins through PBH's Free Fringe, performed at Speakeasy. Presented as a memoir in song by the bard Gurney Halleck — trusted adviser to the Padisha Emperor and troubadour-warrior, the Earl of Caladan — the show draws on material from A Child's History of Muad'Dib and introduces never-before-heard songs from Gurney's time among the Fremen. Audiences are invited to sing along with little Paul Atreides on his journey to Sietch Tabr. The show runs 60 minutes and is for audiences aged 18 and over, with extensive content warnings including nudity, scenes of sexual violence, scenes of violence, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A Hugo Award-nominated musical told entirely through the perspective of an in-universe bard — an inventive and affectionate take on Arrakis lore that rewards both fans and newcomers willing to forget what they know.
