Grenfell: System Failure interrogates the Grenfell Tower Inquiry's findings, exploring why the testing regime failed, manufacturers promoted unsafe products, government regulations ignored the dangers, and politicians failed to ensure proper oversight.

Grenfell: System Failure is a powerful new play that delves deeper into the issues raised by the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, which took place in 2021. Based on the testimonies of those involved in the final phase of the Inquiry, which concluded in November 2022, the play explores the various factors that contributed to the tragedy. It questions why the testing regime failed to warn of the danger of installing inflammable materials, why manufacturers promoted such products with no regard to safety, why government regulations ignored the dangers and were not updated, and why politicians failed to ensure proper oversight. Through the testimonies of bereaved residents, the play also explores how they were failed by the London Fire Brigade on the night of the fire and abandoned by the Local Authority in the chaos of the fires aftermath.

The play is brought to the stage by the creative team responsible for Grenfell: Value Engineering at the Tabernacle, Birmingham Rep, and on Channel 4, The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry – The Colour of Justice at the Tricycle Theatre, the National Theatre, in the West End, and on BBC TV, and the Olivier Award-winning Saville Inquiry play, Bloody Sunday.

Grenfell: System Failure is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the systemic failures that led to it. It provides a powerful and emotional insight into the lives of those affected by the fire and the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability.
