Details

Love letters, lost letters, letters written and never sent, letters to God, official letters, letters from exotic and faraway places all feature in this funny and moving play. Full of music and songs, The Last Post is an offbeat look at letters, and their power and importance in people's lives. It asks questions about how people communicate with each other and, in this age of computers and cyber communication, what part does letter writing still play in people's lives? Live Theatre, together with Elements - The County Durham Initiative, has commissioned a new play for County Durham from acclaimed novelist, playwright and poet Julia Darling, called The Last Post. As part of the script development process, there will be a public reading of the first draft at Bishop Auckland Town Hall.
