A POWERFUL courtroom thriller is coming to a Black Country stage.
The Verdict sees Casualty star Clive Mantle play Frank Galvin, a washed-up, alcoholic, veteran lawyer.
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, 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 show, which runs at Wolverhampton's Grand Theatre from May 2-6, also stars Wycliffe star Jack Shepherd and Tom Roberts of 2point4 Children fame.
