The Inquest
The Big House, London, N1 3LH
Saturday 28th November 2026 7:00PM
It's been three years since Jordan took his own life, and it was two days before he was found.
His foster dad David doesn’t have any answers as to how everything spiralled so quickly after he aged out of his care. After a tireless fight, finally the Coroner’s Court agrees to an inquest. As the court proceedings ensue, David crashes through hurdles of procedure, fighting for justice for the child he loved.
The Inquest asks the question, how can we hold fragmented services to account and end preventable deaths?
We’ve created this production in dialogue with the charity INQUEST who share our mission to end preventable deaths. Together we are seeking visibility and accountability by shining a light on deaths that are often hidden from public view, and pushing for systems that prevent future harm.
