  • Grenfell: System Failure – Scenes from the Inquiry (part 1)

    Grenfell: System Failure – Scenes from the Inquiry (part 1)
    Sep 8 2024
    Listen to part 2 Scenes from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry by Richard Norton-Taylor and Nicolas Kent On 14 June 2017, a fire broke out in Grenfell Tower in London. 72 people died. It was the worst residential fire in the UK since the second world war. The Grenfell Tower Inquiry was created to examine the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the fire. Two reports were published as a result of this inquiry: phase 1 on 30 October 2019; and the second, and final, report last Wednesday. This verbatim play, which was recorded in front of a live audience, is taken from excerpts of spoken evidence, given under oath, to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, Phase 2, between October 2019 and July 2022. This play was created so that some of the lessons leading up to that night, and the vital work of the Inquiry, could be more widely understood by the public.

Profile Image for Zoe Butterworth

Cillian Murphy was the reason I listened

I absolutely loved this I heard it but I also felt it almost like I was there listening in on the interviews . I loved the way it felt like I was there listening to a normal everyday conversation and felt that . I to lack in confidence and will go over and over everything I said in a conversation.
