The Post Office is a short play about Amal, a sick young boy who is confined to his adoptive uncle's house by his doctor's orders. From his window he watches the world pass by: a curd seller, a watchman, children at play. He dreams of freedom and of a letter from the king. The play is simple, symbolic and gentle, and it has been staged around the world. It speaks of imagination, longing and the spirit's wish for release.
