About the Show

Verbatim accounts from The Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

On 14th June 2017, a fire engulfed a 24-storey block of flats in West London. Flammable cladding on the exterior of Grenfell Tower and the negligence of the local council led to the demise of 72 people, and hundreds of families losing their homes.

'Value Engineering' aims to give audiences an overview of and access to some of the most important evidence from the inquiry that followed this tragic event.

Critic Reviews (5)

[It] makes no attempts to be dramatic, re-enacting the inquiry with an emphatic lack of theatricality. The drama does not shed new light on the tragedy but does highlight the abysmal corporate and council failures.

It’s verbatim theatre, but it leaves you speechless...It feels like we’re witnessing the Inquiry as it happened. At times, it’s painful to watch, and rightly so.

There's nothing like seeing this evidence live, it conveys how easily bureaucratic incompetence, prejudice, corruption and lies in our society crystallises into evil. And sometimes in banal ways, if the email evidence is anything to go by.

The cast is all great, but British stage and TV legend Ron Cook is simply outstanding as Counsel to the Inquiry Richard Millett: it’s a stunning, understated piece of acting from the 73-year-old.
