Ludlow Assembly Rooms will host the premiere of Make Good, a new musical from leading rural theatre companies Pentabus and New Perspectives on Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19.
Make Good, a musical about the Post Office scandal inspired by sub-postmasters' interviews, will then tour until December 1, and will be performed with a community choir in each of the venues it visits on its six week tour.
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 in what is now recognised as one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history.
Victoria Brazier will play Elsie, performing in her second Pentabus/New Perspectives co-production following Crossings, rising star and Spotlight Graduate Finalist 2023 Charlotte Delima makes her professional stage debut as Indira, Samuel Gosrani (Robin Hood: The Legend. Rewritten and The Lovely Bones) will play Mohandas, and acclaimed performer and comedian Ed Gaughan will play Postman.
The tour includes dates in Nottingham, Kent, Cornwall, Dorset, Yorkshire, and across the Midlands, including a performance at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury, as well as tour stops in London and Birmingham.
