Chris Mullin – Error of Judgement

Tickets £11/£9

50 years on from the Birmingham Bombings and with new writing from Mullin, this classic edition of Error of Judgement tells the complete story of one of the most significant miscarriages of justice ever. Methodically, with total clarity and a tone that is both gripping and impassioned, then investigative journalist Mullin unpicked every detail of the 1974 IRA pub bombing, which killed 21 and injured at least 170 people, and for which six men were found guilty. He revealed gaping holes in the prosecution case and the horrifying consequences of an establishment determined to close ranks.

‘One of the greatest feats ever achieved by an investigative reporter.’ – Sebastian Faulks, the Independent on Sunday

‘Very occasionally a journalist starts an avalanche with a single gunshot… Chris Mullin and his TV colleagues belong in the glorious company.’ – The Observer
