Miscarriage of justice - the musical!

A COLLABORATION between Pentabus and New Perspectives, two rural-touring theatre companies currently celebrating their 50th anniversaries, Make Good is a musical that illuminates a notorious corporate injustice.

The Post Office’s wrongful prosecution of 900 subpostmasters, based on flawed data from Fujitsu’s Horizon system, entered public consciousness through the award-winning TV series, Mr Bates vs The Post Office.

Make Good — in development long before the screening of the ITV drama in January — isn’t just a reworking of the same narrative with a few songs thrown in. There’s a comparable concern with the damage done to individuals, families and communities, but the similarity ends there.
