This postal play was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs and with the support Community Partners.
Spite & Malice
It’s your draw in the longest-running card game
in the universe. Good luck.
Tickets are no longer on sale through the Post Theatrical spring festival.
HOWEVER! We do have a few remaining experiences, if you are so inclined.
Spite & Malice is a theatrical fantasy adventure and interactive fiction that utilizes playing cards, audio drama, found objects, 1800-numbers and mail-based interaction to lead you through a tangled correspondence between the King, the Queen, and Jack, who are racing to win the longest-running card game in the universe. A rogue ex-player is breaking the rules as she searches the stars for her disappeared grandmother.You’re part of the game now. Good luck.
How It Works
When to Join:
The premiere production ran March-April 2021.
Experiences are available at request. Sign up at the link above.
What You’ll Need:
The experience requires a mailing address (residential, business, or PO Box), an email address, a phone (don’t worry, we won’t call you), and internet access.
What Will Happen:
You will receive an envelope in the mail from The Rulemakers. Its contents will direct you to absorb a world, complete tasks, send messages, visit portions of the story online, make a few decisions (none right, none wrong) and call a number or two. After you mail an SASE back into the universe, The Rulemakers will send you one last correspondence, postmarked no later than April 30.
