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.
