ARENA Arts and Entertainment Inc. p r e s e n t s Terry Pratchett’s GOING POSTAL A Convicted Conman Is Put In Charge Of The Post Office. Perhaps He Should Have Chosen The Noose Instead! A Comedic Adventure Of Whispering Letters, Clay Men, Business Skullduggery and Really Pushing The Envelope! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Moist von Lipwig is a con artist, a fraud and a man faced with a life choice : put the city’s ailing postal service back on its feet or be hanged for his crimes. It was a tough decision! With the help of a clay man who has been at the bottom of a hole in the ground for over 200 years, a nerdy young collector of pins (yes, pins), and a very old junior postman, Lipwig’s got to see the mail gets through. In taking on the evil chairman of a rival communications company, as well as being stalked by a deadly assassin, he’s also got to stay alive! Getting a date with Adora Belle Dearheart would be nice, too ... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From the company that brought you WYRD SISTERS (2001), LORDS AND LADIES (2002), CARPE JUGULUM (2003) and MONSTROUS REGIMENT (2004), and DOCTOR WHO : HELLBLOSSOM, TEMPORO, THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR and SANTA’S SPACE CHRISTMAS. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Performing at THE OLD MILL THEATRE cnr Mill Point Rd & Mends St, South Perth FEBRUARY 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29 @ 8pm MARCH 1 @ 8pm SUNDAY FEBRUARY 24 @ 2pm $16 Full $12 Concession BOOKINGS Phone : 9362 4080 Email : bookings@arenaentertainment.com.au * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
