FRANK Galvin is a washed-up veteran lawyer and an alcoholic. He is presented with one last chance to redeem himself when he is given an open-and-shut medical malpractice case that no one thinks he can win. Up against the unforgiving medical establishment and the all-powerful Catholic Church, he courageously refuses an out-of-court settlement and instead takes the case and the entire legal system to court.

The Verdict is a stunning courtroom thriller made famous in the 1982 film of the same name starring Paul Newman and James Mason.

Starring Clive Mantle, a household favourite for more than three decades, with regular roles in hit TV series including The Vicar of Dibley and Casualty, and Jack Shepherd, probably best known as Wycliffe.

The Verdict runs at Malvern Theatres from Wednesday, January 25 to Saturday, January 28. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
