Scandal of delay for justice

RABBLE Theatre’s production of Glitch – The True Story of the Post Office Scandal is going on tour.

Written by Zannah Kearns and directed by Gareth Taylor, it is the story of Pam Stubbs, a sub-postmistress from Barkham in Berkshire, who stood her ground when facing false accusations by the Post Office, based on information provided by the Horizon computer system that it introduced.

More than 900 sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses across the UK were wrongly prosecuted for stealing, while hundreds of others made up apparent financial shortfalls out of their own pocket.

Stubbs kept meticulous records and raised concerns, but eventually lost her business.

The play will tour the UK, including Wilton’s Music Hall in London.

On Tuesday, March 24, the play will be performed at the Kenton Theatre in Henley and from Tuesday, April 7 to Saturday, April 18 it will be performed at the Minghella Theatre at Reading University.
