The Verdict coming to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre
Frank Galvin is a washed up lawyer and an alcoholic.
He's presented with one last chance to redeem himself when he's given an open-and-shut medical malpractice case that no one thinks he can win.
His story is told in The Verdict, at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre, which opens tomorrow and runs until May 6. It stars Clive Mantle, Jack Shepherd and Richard Walsh.
Up against the unforgiving medical establishment and the all-powerful Catholic Church, Frank courageously refuses an out of court settlement, believing it is negligence that has condemned a young mother. Smelling a cover up, he instead takes the case and the entire legal system to court.
The play is a stunning courtroom thriller made famous by the five times Oscar-nominated Sidney Lumet film, with Paul Newman and James Mason.
Clive's been a household favourite for over three decades, with regular roles in hit TV series Robin Of Sherwood, The Vicar Of Dibley, Mount Pleasant, White Van Man, Game of Thrones and of course Dr Mike Barratt in both Casualty and Holby City.
The cast also includes Richard Walsh (London's Burning), Peter Harding, Cassie Bancroft, Tom Roberts (Emmerdale/2point4 Children), Veronica Quilligan, Okon Jones, Michael Lunney, Nuala Walsh, Eugenia Caruso, Jog Maher, Marcus Knibbs and Hannah Timms.
