A riotous new musical comedy about wrongful conviction, institutional incompetence and what happens when a justice system absolutely refuses to admit it might have done something wrong.
Mr Beck leaves his flat one perfectly ordinary morning and accidentally sets in motion a criminal case so spectacularly, fantastically flawed it will change the British justice system forever. But first, someone’s going to have to make an enormous song and dance about it.
It’s 1904. A man has been convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Again. The courts are in chaos, the establishment is tying itself in knots, and an unlikely ensemble are about to stumble, sing and scandalise their way through one of the most bizarre cases in British legal history, a legal case so weird it brought about the creation of the Court of Appeal.
Written by Olivia Hirst (The Incident Room) and Matthew Floyd Jones (Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder!), A Super Happy Story (About Feeling Super Sad), and directed by Alex Mitchell.
