Glitch: The True Story of the Post Office Scandal
Saturday 28 February 2026
Drama
Pam Stubbs has been sub-postmistress of Barkham Post Office for twenty years, respected and loved by the community. But when unexplained discrepancies start appearing in her accounts, Pam finds herself at the heart of the biggest miscarriage of justice in English legal history.
“A powerful, emotional and fascinating story from the excellent RABBLE Theatre.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ West End Best Friend
"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 is amazing. Thank you so much for keeping the story alive.” Seema Misra, sub-postmistress wrongly imprisoned.
“A powerful response to a national disgrace. First Class.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Daily Telegraph
