Drama and Theatre (Theater) on Stamps, as well as actors and acting in the theatre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DramaSlovakia 2013, 0.90 Euro cents A definitive stamp of the Cultural Heritage of Slovakia ongoing series. Celebrating the Empire Theatre in Hlohovec, showing a seeming angelic boy (do not remember the name of this character / creature in mythology) holding a mask of a Muse (from Greece) of drama of some sort I think.  |

The full set looked similar to this with both living and dead actors. Included were Dr Who and Gandalf  The policy of not having living people on stamps except royalty and royalty related was dropped in the mid-2000's but had been broken on several occasions previously. There are no restrictions/guidelines now.  |
