Great staging/acting/writing/directing, Emotional, Gripping, Perfect agit prop, Evocative

See it if disaster survivors telling their own story in an immersive, breaking the 4th wall, in the round, in the National Theater way appeals 2U

Don't see it if 3 hrs of gut wrenching yet beautifully done storytelling of great loss due to indifference and lies from government and big business isnt 4U

Engaging, Passionate, Resonant, Intelligent, Admirable

See it if you have a strong appetite for docu-style theater & social justice issues. Having a familiarity with the Grenfell tragedy probably helps too

Don't see it if you’re looking for an elaborately staged play, or something brief & lighthearted. It is none of these things. Read more

Moving, Relevant, Strong acting, Long, Intense

See it if you like docu-plays. Chars vividly portrayed. Horrible corporate greed/bad govt vs human spirit/bravery. Call to action to save lives.

Don't see it if you prefer light fare. Or you want succinct story-telling. Still, powerful: many lives lost. Justice still not served. Highly diverse cast.
