Winner of a Fringe First Award 2024
What use is paper? To speak.
To imagine. To remember.
It starts when she puts a note through his letterbox.
'Hello Number 4, this is Number 6. Please could you SHUT THE **** UP? Ta.' Not a promising beginning, but... they meet, they fall in love, they get married.
Then one day a letter arrives that will change them, and the world, forever...
Oliver Emanuel and Gareth Williams's A History of Paper is a musical love story about a man and a woman and the little bits of paper that make up a life.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere Dundee Rep and Traverse Theatre co-production at Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre in August 2024.
