The idea of providing a safe space for theater audiences is often met with resistance, as it may seem like coddling and goes against the notion of the stage being a place for daring and surprise. However, the production "Grenfell: in the words of survivors" at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn sets the stage for a tense and enthralling documentary play about the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in West London. The actors make it clear that they will not show any images of fire and reassure the audience that they can leave and return if needed. The play presents the residents' memories of Grenfell Tower before the fire, highlighting their sense of home and community. It also delves into the tragedy of the fire and the systemic issues that contributed to it, such as marginalization, deregulation, and unsafe building renovations. The production effectively balances the emotional impact of the survivors' stories with informative segments, creating a gripping and important theatrical experience.
