‘They think it is him and he is very, very jumpy...'

Opening exactly four years after the events of 22nd July 2005 that culminated in the tragic death of the innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, ‘Stockwell' runs just a few hundred yards from the scene of the shooting. 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 lead 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.
