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. 

“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 was amazing. Thank you so much for keeping the story alive.” Seema Misra, sub-postmistress, wrongly imprisoned whilst pregnant. 

“A powerful response to a national disgrace. First Class.” ★★★★ Dominic Cavendish, The Daily Telegraph  

“Go and see this piece of theatre. It has a visceral effect that is very, very powerful.” Nick Wallis, Investigative Journalist 

“Glitch tells the deeply moving story of an appalling, ongoing injustice, told with humour and compassion.  It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to support the brilliant Zannah Kearns as her dramaturg as she developed Glitch, and it’s fantastic news that the tour is heading to the brilliant Wiltons Music Hall, which was such a special London venue for my own The Ballad of Maria Marten.” Beth Flintoff – Associate Playwright & Young Writers Associate at The Royal Court, Associate Artist at Rabble Theatre, dramaturg on Glitch and of course the playwright behindThe Ballad of Maria Marten (Wiltons Music Hall, 2022)
