FALSE ACCOUNTS: Exposing the Post Office Cover-Up
In 1999, the Horizon IT system was introduced to UK Post Offices—flawed from the start. Hundreds of Postmasters were wrongly held liable for financial shortfalls, driving many to ruin and even prison. From award-winning playwright Lance Nielsen, False Accounts is a darkly satirical take on Britain’s biggest miscarriage of justice.
First performed in 2022, this powerful, thought-provoking production returns to the Birmingham stage, giving a voice to those affected and exposing this national scandal.
⭐ "Thought-provoking and moving… heartbreakingly real." – Bum on a Seat
⭐ "We sat there, completely engaged. A very powerful play!" – Former Sub-postmaster Wendy Buffrey
⭐ "Essential viewing for anyone with a professional interest in this subject or anyone who wants to learn more about this appalling scandal." – Ian Henderson, Second Sight
