Details

It was my safest place. It was home. A powerful new verbatim play from the testimony of residents at the heart of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Six years on, interviews conducted with a group of survivors and bereaved reveal the impact of the multiple failures that led to a national disaster, asking: how do we stop this ever happening again? Startling and deeply moving, it explores the courage and resilience of an ill-treated community and their continued campaign for justice. Audiences for all performances will be able to exit the auditorium if feeling overwhelmed by the production, and either take a break or continue watching on a screen in the foyer before re-entering the auditorium when they feel able.
