Dictating to the Estate
Maxilla Social Club
This month marks five years since the Grenfell tower fire. In the years following the devastating blaze that killed 72 people, there’s been little justice for the survivors and bereaved.
No arrests or charges have been made, high-rise blocks are still fitted with dangerous cladding and the firms that created the deadly materials continue to turn over billions in profit.
In the absence of concrete action, Dictating to the Estate seeks to hold those responsible to account on the stage. The 90-minute documentary drama is a sensitive and powerful portrayal of the Grenfell community’s heroic battle against the institutions determined to push ahead with a lucrative redevelopment of the area, no matter the human cost.
