"Justifying War" by Richard Norton-Taylor

In this paper I am analysing a tribunal play, Justifying War by Richard Norton-Taylor, which covers Lord Hutton's inquiry about Richard Kelly's death. This is a tribunal play, with the dialogue written in the verbatim style, which means that the time and place of the play closely follow the real life events. No names were altered, everything is presented in its true form because tribunal plays mirror the historical events completely. That is why in the first part of this paper I am presenting the historical context and in the second part analysing the play, the genre it belongs to (tribunal), life of the play on the stage of both Tricycle and Edward Alderton Theatre, TV adaptation (BBC in 2004), including its reception of media and audience
