The Post Office at University of Maine School of Performing Arts

The Post Office tells the story of a young child named Amal who would like nothing more than to venture out to see the world. However, he is quite ill, so he is confined to the indoors on doctor’s orders. There, he passes the time gazing out the window. One day, he notices the king's post office in the distance, and he begins dreaming of receiving a letter from the king. As he waits, he befriends a variety of locals from the village who pass by his window, and touches each of their hearts.

This is an exciting new translation of this 1912 work by the Nobel Prize-winning writer Rabindranath Tagore, bringing this canonical work of global theatre to a brand-new audience.
