The Dead Letter Office
A theatre show for ages 9+. Show length 1 hour
The Dead Letter Office is a play for young audiences aged 9+ that explores migration through an engaging and beautiful story about belonging and loss, and the different ways we find to connect with each other.
Elizabeth is a Dead Letter Detective and knows everything there is to know about lost post. She loves her job… but people don’t send letters anymore.
Days before the closure of her beloved Dead Letter Office, a mysterious package arrives. Faced with the most difficult mystery of her career, Elizabeth is forced to make life-changing decisions!
