Nick speaks to the producer and writer/director of a satirical play about the Post Office Horizon scandal called False Accounts.

In this episode, Nick speaks to Lance Nielsen (writer and co-director with Dickon Tolson) and Suzette Pluck (producer) of False Accounts, a satirical play about the Post Office Horizon scandal. Lance and Suzette talk about the difficulties of putting on a play without funding, choosing which Subpostmasters' stories will be told and naming the characters who will feature, and those who did not quite make the final cut. False Accounts premieres in Birmingham at the Old Joint Stock Theatre on 19 October, and then moves to the Questors Theatre in Ealing, West London on 1 November.
