Dak Ghar (The Post Office) is a 1912 Bengali play by Rabindranath Tagore. W.B. Yeats produced an English-language version of the play and also wrote a preface to it. It was also translated into Spanish and French. It was performed in English for the first time in 1913 by the Irish Theatre in London with Tagore himself in the attendance. The Bengali original was staged in Calcutta in 1917. It also had a successful run in Germany with performances in concentration camps during World War II. A Polish version was performed under the supervision of Janusz Korczak in the Warsaw ghetto.^[5]

Amal, a young boy with an incurable disease is trapped inside the house by the local pandit-doctor’s orders. He spends the day chattering with passersby and villagers while daydreaming about those encounters later. When the chowkidar tells him the new building across the road from his house is a new Post Office belonging the Raja, Amal starts fantasising about visiting the King beyond the hills, and getting a letter or delivering the letters going all around, setting out from the confine of his house.^[2]
