Grenfell: in the words of survivors
National Theatre — Dorfman
THE Grenfell fire of 2017 exposed a systemic failure of our national leadership, laws, democratic rights and basic humanity.
This resounding truth must now be etched into the consciousness of every single person of sound mind in this country, along with the recognition of a prevailing mindset that cares nothing for the welfare of others, nothing for the dignity of citizenship, nothing for civilised society – no – only the prioritisation of expediency, self-preservation, elitism and – let’s face it – profit margins and gain.
Grenfell: in the words of survivors at the National Theatre sets out to immortalise this blistering reality with detail from the personal stories of that night.
