Dead Letter Perfect is a new theatre company that will launch with its production of THE GATHERED LEAVES by Andrew Keatley in PARK200, July 15th - August 15th.

Our mission statement is to produce good stories, well told; that’s it really – they can be old plays – or new, big, small, neat or messy, no matter the flavour – we just want to be married to good story. For us, character lies at the heart of good story, and we want to make actors and writers central to all DLP output.
