The idea for PSP was first proposed in 2009, when a group of London-based RAFTA life members were sitting in a pub, bemoaning the fact that they were unable to be as active within the Association as they would like to be, purely because they didn't live near enough to any RAF Theatre Clubs to be able to participate in any of their activities.

"They" included Philip Goudal, Daryl Bennett, Gene David Kirk, and Nathan Taylor, among others, and it was then that the idea of forming a club that they could belong to was born.

This brought its own problems, as the RAFTA Constitution didn't allow for any clubs to be affiliated with RAFTA, that weren't allied to one of the RAF Stations. The group that were to become PSP protested that this was fair: why should geography prevent proud RAFTA members from taking part in RAFTA events?

The subject was brought up at the subsequent RAFTA AGM, and with a bit of coaxing and cajoling, it was agreed that the Constitution would be amended so that clubs that weren't attached to an RAF Station could still be affiliated with the Association, so long as the membership included a requisite number of RAFTA members, and that those members didn't in fact live closer to a club that was based at an RAF Staion.

As a result of this change, the inauguration of PostScript Players was able to take place.

PSP is unusual in that many of its members have trained professionally, and many of those are still active within the world of professional theatre. That said, PSP remains very much an amateur club, with no intentions at all of producing theatre for any commercial purposes.

It is hoped that the knowledge and experience that PSP members have gathered over the years can be taken back to RAFTA and its members, to further pursue the Association's own motto, "Improving Theatre in the RAF."

PSP's first outing as a club was the performance of Mark Edwards' play, "The Knowledge," at the 2010 RAFTA One-Act Play Festival at RAF Lyneham. The play was awarded the Runners Up Trophy, and both cast members were mentioned in the nominations for Best Actor.

PSP's second venture into the festival world was with Dominic Cavendish's The Ministry of Love, in May 2011, for which Daryl Bennett was awarded the Best Actor Trophy.
