Nick Wallis returns to the Ropetackle to continue his powerful, unique series of Post Office talks, based on his highly anticipated up-coming second book about the ongoing scandal.
Drawing on over 15 years of investigative journalism on the subject, his show exposes how the Post Office and Fujitsu systematically covered up one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history.
Combining first hand testimony, sharp analysis and compelling storytelling, Wallis unpacks the human cost of the scandal and the ongoing fight for truth and justice. Forensic, revealing and at times moving, this is essential theatre for our times and another chapter in this ongoing saga.
Nicks account of this ongoing story continues on from his last sold out show here that left audiences reeling – prepare yourself for yet another gripping and revealing stage show that follows the story after the story – the extensive cover-ups – scandal after shocking scandal.
Journalist/broadcaster Nick Wallis (BBC Radio 4’s ‘The Great Post Office Trial’, Private Eye’s ‘Justice Lost in the Post’, BBC1’s Panorama ‘Scandal at the Post Office’, The One Show and Channel 5’s ‘Criminals Caught on Camera’) has drawn on fifteen years 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).
