When a gun-toting hoodlum holds up a sleepy village Post Office he gets more than he bargains for as postmasters Mr and Mrs Pertwee embark on some restorative justice – enlightening the reprobate about the institution he’s been messing with.
But can a comical journey through five centuries of postal history really rehabilitate the rascally rogue? And what of the Pertwees’ retribution – grossly disproportionate or an act of ultimate public service?
Part skit, part elegy, discover the answer to these and more by travelling with us on a thrilling, head-spinning, mail-coach, night-train ride of your life only… Don’t Shoot The Messenger!
This event will include a BSL interpreter who will sign the performance.
