RABBLE has announced the venues which are set to host its production exploring the story of the Post Office scandal as it sets out on a national tour next year.
Glitch, written by local playwright Zannah Kearns and produced by Reading-based RABBLE Theatre, tells the story of Pam Stubbs, a subpostmistress from Barkham who lost her home and her business when there were unexplained shortfalls in her accounts.
Pam’s evidence in the Hight Court trial (Bates v Post Office) was pivotal to the judge’s conclusion that the Horizon software was faulty.
The new production, set to tour the UK between February and April 2026, was originally funded by the University’s School of Law, Arts Committee and Vice Chancellor’s Community Fund, and was created with assistance from staff and students in the University’s School of Law and Department of Film, Theatre and Television.
Now it is set to tour the UK, showing in Scarborough, Ipswich, Chelmsford, Norwich, Derby, Hull, Liverpool, Plymouth, and London, among others, before returning to Reading in April.
The play sold out when it debuted at the University of Reading in June 2024.
