    Starring Jason Merrells, Richard Walsh and Reanne Farley, The Verdict is the powerful best-selling courtroom drama that inspired a multi Academy Award-nominated film starring Paul Newman.

    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, he courageously refuses an out of court settlement, believing it is negligence that has condemned a young mother. Smelling a cover up, he takes the case and the entire legal system to court

    Jason Merrells is known to millions for his television roles in Agatha Raisin, Emmerdale, Casualty, and Waterloo Road. Jason has also featured in the latest series of the hit BBC drama Happy Valley, as well as winning Sky Art’s Celebrity Portrait Artist of the Year.

    He is joined by Richard Walsh (London’s Burning), Reanne Farley (River City), Vincent Pirillo, Nigel Barber, Okon Jones, Michael Lunney, Sarah Shelton, Jason Wilson, Teresa Jennings, Holly Jackson Walters, James Morley, Bruce Chattan, Anna Arthur and Dave Speck.

    This phenomenal and gripping courtroom thriller has enjoyed standing ovations at theatres across the UK and Ireland.

    The Verdict is written by Barry Reed, directed and designed by Michael Lunney and adapted for the stage by Margaret May Hobbs.
