THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE
by Mary-Lou McCarthy

Upcoming Ireland Tour 2024

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.

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.

Supported by Branar Meitheal. The project is funded by the Arts Council. Early development support through Creative Ireland, Branar Tiny Shows, Time to Play with Theatre Lovett, Centre Culturel Irlandais, Draíocht Theatre and Mayo Arts Service.

Originally presented by Mary Lou McCarthy in association with Ready, Steady, SHOW!, The Civic and The Everyman. Tour presentation in association with Once Off Productions.
