In this world premiere thriller conceived by Ben Viccellio, written by Philip Dawkins, and directed by Dieterich Gray, each staff member at the postal service’s Dead Letter Office tries to communicate but always seems to miss. In an examination of the changing nature of language in our digital culture, the play surveys the staff sorting the backlog of the postal system and searching for anything of value among the written letters. But when a newcomer joins the group, she uncovers a secret – a secret buried deep within the walls of the post office and threatened to be lost with the buildings imminent destruction.
