About University of York DramaSoc.
Royal Pigeon Mail is a comedy play by University of York DramaSoc., set in a post office that uses carrier pigeons in the run-up to a debate on whether to keep the pigeon post alive. Tensions run high between two employees on opposing sides of the debate as the very fate of pigeon mail hangs in the balance. The 40-minute show at Annexe as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe invites audiences into a novel yet familiar world — and asks them to help save the pigeon mail, or do it in. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and above.
Why see this show?
A short, comic play about two postal workers and the future of carrier pigeons — daft in the best possible way. At just 40 minutes and suitable from age 12, it is a quick, light-hearted Fringe pick with a genuinely funny premise.
