Local choir accompany performance of new Post Office Scandal musical in Tideswell and Killamarsh
Make Good is a new musical over three years in the making, telling the story of the astonishing resilience of communities at the heart of a scandal that isn’t over yet, and which has been widely recognised as one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history. Make Good is on a 25-venue national tour from the 19th October until 1st December, including dates in village halls just like the one where the fightback against the Post Office and Fujitsu started.

It’s important to provide hope that when we work together and persevere we can achieve change. The little guys can hold the big beasts to account. We’re all in this together, this could have happened to any of us, this is a real story of real people, making a real difference.”

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 affected 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.

Hide AdMake Good, three years in the making, tells the story of the Post Office Scandal, now recognised as one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history. With book by Jeanie O’Hare (Queen Margaret, Royal Exchange) and music and lyrics by Olivier-nominee Jim Fortune (The Odyssey, Hex, NT).
“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. They are the criminals. Behind closed doors they have secretly been doing this to us. This show opens up those doors and in doing so, it tells the story that the nation needs to hear. The story of what really happened to us and other post-masters and post-mistresses.” Sub-postmaster Rubbina Shaheen
