Grenfell: Value Engineering – Scenes from the Inquiry

Ron Cook leads a thirteen strong company, in a new play from a ground-breaking documentary team.

‘The Grenfell fire did not happen in a vacuum… it happened within a pocket of one of the smallest yet richest boroughs in London.’

Leslie Thomas QC in evidence to the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry, July 2020.

The dramatic evidence, based entirely on the words of those involved in the current Grenfell Tower Inquiry, is brought to the stage by Nicolas Kent and Richard Norton-Taylor, the award-winning creative team responsible for the dramatization of The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry – The Colour of Justice at the Tricycle Theatre, the National Theatre, in the West End and on BBC TV and the Olivier Award-winning Saville Inquiry play, Bloody Sunday.

‘It’s one thing to work out how the fire was caused, and how the deaths were caused; the bigger question is: why did this happen?’

Michael Mansfield QC at the Inquiry, March 2021.

Strictly limited season – from 13 October until 13 November 2021 at Tabernacle, Powis Square London W11 2AY
