Truth Street

Meer over het boek

On 15 April 1989, 96 men, women and children died in what remains the most serious tragedy in UK sporting history - the Hillsborough Stadium disaster. For almost 30 years the survivors and the families of the dead had to campaign against the police, government and media who blamed the fans for the tragedy. Eventually, in 2016 a second inquest ruled that the fans were unlawfully killed due to failures of the police and ambulance services, and six people were criminally charged. Truth Street combines the eye-witness testimonies of the survivors at the second inquest to create an epic-poem that is part oral history and part documentary theatre.
