Queens Theatre Interview 20th July 2016 edited

I was joined today by Olly Langdon, the Artistic Director of Kilter Theatre, to talk about The Last Post, a production with a difference at the Queen’s Theatre … or rather NEAR the Queen’s Theatre.

It’s set on a tour bus. The bus takes 18 people so it’s an intimate space with the actors right in front of you and there’s even live music!

Step on board Mobile Sorting Office (MSO) 451 and be transported to a world where snail mail reigns supreme. Our pillar-box red van is brimming with vintage paraphernalia from a much-travelled life, with a thousand items of real mail. Meet Verity, the irrepressible heiress of an international pen-pal agency and Red, a redundant Post-Master and witness the unwrapping of a curious love story accompanied by “harmony-drenched, melancholy-tinged” live music, provided by Tomaz (who arrived one day in a jiffy bag)

After the show, stay for a tipple of sherry with Great Aunt Sofya and perhaps write that letter you’ve been meaning to send before popping it into our real (and functioning!) post box for delivery. Or if you’re stuck for inspiration you can pick up a postcard from our ‘Friends for Pens’ pin-board and write to a real life recipient who is waiting for your letter.

Performances will take place on Sunday 24th July at 2pm and 5pm.
