Good Guardian article today by Richard Norton-Taylor on his dramatisation of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, which is running at the Tricycle Theatre from 7 April.
I now feel I know every street, every corner where unarmed civilians fell dead or wounded, and every spot from which the Paras fired their rifles. Not because I have lived there or even because I have revisited Derry – I haven’t. I feel I have come to know the place, and its ghosts, through hearing scores of witnesses and reading thousands of pages of transcript of the Bloody Sunday inquiry. This is the material – about 14m words spoken by more than 900 witnesses in the biggest investigation in British legal history – from which I have distilled the latest "Tribunal Play" at the Tricycle.
