Vital verbatim staging...There's nothing like seeing this evidence
live, it conveys how easily bureaucratic incompetence, prejudice,
corruption and lies in our society crystallises into evil.
*WhatsOnStage*
Gruelling, unfinished tragedy ... it feels both pointed and
discomforting ... it is a particular kind of political theatre
which makes no attempts to be dramatic, re-enacting the inquiry
with an emphatic lack of theatricality.
*Guardian*
Enlightening drama refuses to play blame game
*Times*
Essential viewing ... grimly compelling study of systemic
rottenness
*Telegraph*
