Glitch – The True Story of the Post Office Scandal
Pam Stubbs has been sub-postmistress of Barkham Post Office for over twenty years, respected and loved by the community.
But when unexplained discrepancies start appearing in her accounts, Pam soon finds herself at the heart of the biggest miscarriage of justice in English legal history.
Glitch is an inspirational true story, based on the experiences of Pam and her colleagues. The play was created with sub-postmistresses and masters affected by the events, key members of the legal process and commissioned by the University of Reading.
“Your production was amazing. Thank you so much for keeping the story alive.” Seema Misra, sub-postmistress, wrongly imprisoned whilst pregnant
