A Pentabus and New Perspectives co-production
Make Good: The Post Office Scandal A new musical by Jeanie O’Hare (book) and Jim Fortune (music and lyrics)
Directed by Elle While
“If we knew that this was going to happen to us, that we were going to become criminals by buying a Post Office, we would never, ever have done it.” Sub-postmaster
For twenty years Sub-Postmasters all over the UK were jailed for stealing money that never existed.
Directly informed by conversations with affected Sub-Postmasters, Make Good dives into these most local of stories, capturing the raw emotion, the betrayals, and the collective disbelief that this could be happening to innocent people.
A new musical, three years in the making, tells the story of the resilience of the Sub-Postmasters and their families, in what is now recognised as the gravest miscarriage of justice in British history. Can the Post Office ever make good the damage they have done?
“The musical is full of feeling. And that’s what we need to portray to people now, so that they can feel and understand what we felt, all the heartache that we went through. The songs bring so much to the story, they’re heartfelt and there’s humour in it too, it’s funny. It made me smile as well as being touching.” Sub-Postmaster
Celebrating 100 years of rural touring and marking the 50th anniversary of leading rural theatre companies Pentabus and New Perspectives.
