BWW Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY, Bristol Hippodrome

But while the great and the good praise him, a different story unfolds elsewhere as one woman embarks on an extraordinary quest to be believed. How one man used fame, intimidation and manipulation to fool the very institutions we trust and how one brave woman fought back. Drawing extensively on material from genuine interviews, transcripts and TV shows, this is the first play to explore the most shocking sex scandal of our time: how Sir Jimmy Savile 'groomed the nation'.
