Make Good
Over twenty years a silent tragedy has unfolded in the heart of our communities. 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 a9ected 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.
Make Good, three years in the making, tells the story of the Post O9ice Scandal, now recognised as one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history.
Victoria Brazier commented, “I was so chuBed to be oBered the role of Elsie. These sub- postmasters were ordinary people living and working in towns and villages just like those we will tour to. Their lives were destroyed by the weight of so many lies. I want to honour their stories and be part of trying to prevent something similar happening again.”
Charlotte Delima commented, “I feel honoured to make my debut with the company and show. As artists, it’s critical to continue to shine a light on the great injustice of the Post OBice Scandal and musicals oBer a unique opportunity to show the raw emotion and unspeakable narratives of the characters.”
Samuel Gosrani commented, “To share a story that will most likely resonate first hand with people in the audience at every show is massive. My biggest hope is that, as a company, we can put together a piece of theatre that will stick and literally ‘make good’.”
