Stockwell opens at the Landor theatre exactly four years after the events of 22 July 2005 that culminated in the tragic death of the innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell tube station, just a few hundred yards from the theatre.

Weaving together the diverse voices of the inquest’s many witnesses, Stockwell is an urgent and compelling verbatim work that charts the desperate acceleration towards one of the most controversial moments in the history of the Metropolitan Police.

In addition to exploring the sequence of events that led to the fatal shooting, the play also paints a vivid portrait of a city still in shock from the suicide bombs of previous weeks and a jittery and overstretched police force agonising over its methods and ability to prevent further terror.
