‘The Last Post’ is a community-driven creative regeneration and place making project that seeks to interrogate the history of Tin Shed Theatre Company’s current home at The Place, and the much loved former Post Office and Night Club on Bridge Street in Newport. The Last Post will be an intergenerational and durational project co-created by the local community, exploring stories that exist across the city which link to these buildings.
