A NEW musical on the Post Office scandal is coming to a Dorset theatre.
Make Good: The Post Office Scandal will be performed at the Royal Manor Theatre, Portland on Friday, November 15.
The musical is three years in the making and tells the story of the Post Office Scandal, now recognised as one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history.
Promoters say: "Over 20 years a silent tragedy has unfolded in the heart of our communities.
"Entirely innocent sub-postmasters had their lives torn apart and faced bankruptcy, isolation, and jail for crimes that were never committed, for debts that never existed.
"Directly informed by conversations with affected sub-postmasters, Make Good dives into this most local of stories, capturing the raw emotions, the bewilderment and the unbreakable bond of faith and family that were put to the test.
"Experience the astonishing resilience of entire communities as lives were destroyed in a scandal that isn’t over yet."
The performance starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from royalmanortheatre.co.uk, or by calling 0333 666 3366.
