The Post Office, a gentle an moving play, tells the story of a young boy, Amal who is confined t ohis home by an illness and yet collects a host of friends who are ready to minister to his inquisitive, innocent mind in the most delightful way possible. With the world at his doorstep Amal is happy in the fertile world of his imagination, and is willing when the time comes, to journey from this world to the next. The play has a simplicity and poignancy, about it which prompted W.B. Yeats to say in his introduction, 'On the stage the little play shows that it is very perfectly constructed, and it conveys to the right audience an emotion of gentleness and peace.'
