This is the true story of how hundreds of innocent people fought to clear their names after being pursued by the Post Office through the criminal courts.
Proud pillars of their communities were stripped of their jobs and livelihoods. Many were forced into bankruptcy or borrowed from friends and family to give the Post Office thousands they did not owe. The really unlucky ones were sent to prison.

Recently adapted into a primetime ITV drama starring Toby Jones, this jaw-dropping, unique and gripping story is now the subject of a compelling stage show.

Journalist and television (BBC Radio 4 and Panorama) presenter Nick Wallis has drawn on his decade of covering the story to write a best-selling book (‘The Great Post Office Scandal’ - serialised by the Daily Mail and featured by the Sunday Times) - it is this book which forms the basis of his new show.

Nick (also a consultant on the ITV Drama) expertly chronicles the twists and turns of the scandal, taking in the shambolic commissioning of the disastrous Post Office Horizon IT system and examining the punitive methods employed by the Post Office - bypassing the police and the Crown Prosecution Service - to create the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK legal history. Nick then narrows in on the subsequent cover-up, and the staggering legal battles fought and won by campaigning Subpostmasters, against all the odds. As the public inquiry into the scandal reveals yet more horrors, Nick will be able to explain the very latest developments and their significance.

Nick will be talking about his experiences and reading from his best-selling book, followed by a Q&A session, giving the audience an opportunity to explore areas in more detail.
