Post Theatrical
a festival of works using the post as a theatrical medium
Post Theatrical is a whole season of plays-by-mail with theatre companies and artists across the globe. The project, dreamed up and facilitated by RealTime, consists of a variety of plays and theatrical experiences—all to do with mail—including our own play, The Birth of Paper. See the project locations and participating companies and lead writers/creators on the Post Theatrical website.
