The people of Nation Firstile eventually become the last population on liveable land. To ensure survival in such precarious times, unscrupulous experimentation led to a human-made, automated, indestructible governing system: Parochial Synthetic Intelligence (PSI) was put into place to bring order and sustainability for the good of the Nation. As PSI came into power, word also came that a child was born with a blue birthmark and a voice that could turn the lights on and turn minds off. One thousand years later through brutal experimentation and dispossession, the Nation has been able to craft a society of perfect checks and balances, obedience, apathy and segregation for the Nation's preservation. PSI’s strict governance of Naturals is enforced by a legion of Blues through the Communications & Postal Consortium who control every aspect of information and resource exchange.

Postal Prophets is a musical play that follows O’ludree, a young Blue and indentured vocal labourer who works under Nation Firstile’s & PSI's oppressive eye. O’ludree dreams of a different path and world shown to them in both sleeping and waking states. Are these visions a path to O’s own freedom or a prophecy of a grander cosmic plan? Which destiny will O’ludree fulfill; the revolutionary voice of a clandestine resistance or the subservient agent of order? Postal Prophets explores the power of both agency and passivity while embarking on a daring quest of liberation from the nation!
