Amid all the detail, “Grenfell: Value Engineering” doesn’t lose sight of the horror of the night of the fire itself, nor of the broader issues which it illustrated
is familiar. Ranked rows of seats face a small platform, with desks full of administrative clutter: laptops, files and water bottles. A projector screen in the corner shows a PowerPoint slide. After the drama of scandal or the anguish of tragedy, it is this sort of banal setting which plays host to the painstaking work of public inquiries, many of which now stand as milestones in British history: the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war; the Leveson Inquiry into journalists’ phone-hacking.
Nicolas Kent, the director, and Richard Norton-Taylor, the editor, have previously produced similar “verbatim” shows based on public inquiries, but this is the first to be staged while the inquiry is still ongoing, lending it an immediacy heightened by the Tabernacle theatre’s proximity to the Grenfell site in London. Stagings of historical events usually have a degree of artistic licence.
“Value Engineering” doesn’t shy away from detail and difficulty. The published playscript includes a glossary of terms, from polyisocyanurate to5000 . Mr Norton-Taylor has said that he “could get a PhD in cladding studies” after editing the transcripts. Indeed, that complexity is part of the story of what went wrong before the fire.
