Value Engineering: Scenes from the Grenfell Inquiry is a verbatim
reconstruction of the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry. Using only the
words spoken at the Inquiry, the play deals predominantly with Part 2
which ran between January 2020 - July 2021 in which evidence was heard
from those responsible for the disastrous refurbishment of Grenfell
Tower before the tragic fire.
Edited by Richard Norton-Taylor and directed by Nicholas Kent, the team
behind previous testimonial plays The Colour of Justice: The Stephen
Lawrence Inquiry and Bloody Sunday: Scenes from the Saville Inquiry,
this edited verbatim account of the Grenfell Inquiry is aimed at giving
the public an overview and access to some of the most important
evidence.
The play shows how companies involved in the refurbishment of the Tower
conspired to cover up what they knew about the dangerous and
life-threatening materials used to refurbish the Tower. It also reveals
the incompetence and neglect of local authorities.
Staged in Notting Hill Tabernacle in October 2021, this features the
full text of the play alongside additional information on the context of
Grenfell and the ongoing inquiry.
