MAKE GOOD
The Post Office Scandal
Over twenty years a silent tragedy has unfolded in the heart of our communities. Entirely innocent sub-postmasters had their lives torn apart and faced bankruptcy, isolation, and jail for crimes that were never committed, for debts that never existed.
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. Experience the astonishing resilience of entire communities as lives were destroyed in a scandal that isn’t over yet...
A new musical three years in the making that tells the story of the Post Office Scandal, now recognised as one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history.
Presented by PENTABUS and NEW PERSPECTIVES Theatre Companies.

THE TIM KLIPHUIS TRIO
"One of the world's finest fiddlers"
Classically trained and widely regarded as “the successor to Stéphane Grappelli”, Dutch violinist, Tim Kliphuis, breathes new life into existing styles with a high-energy blend of classical, gypsy jazz and folk music. His improvised sound is totally new and yet is steeped in tradition. Tim’s trio’s electrifying performances have made them firm favourites on the festival scene including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, North Sea and Edinburgh Jazz Festivals, Richard Strauss Festival and Fiddles On Fire.
Tim first made his name playing with the fiery European gypsy guitarists, then fine-tuned his personal style which has taken him to classical, jazz and folk venues around the world. Tim has shared the stage with legends Frankie Gavin, Richard Galliano, Fapy Lafertin and Les Paul and has been lauded for his musical genius by Nigel Kennedy.
